Brentford have agreed a £42.5million deal for Bournemouth winger Dango Ouattara. Brentford are set to pay a club-record fee for Ouattara, who was authorised to travel for a medical on Friday. Reports suggest that Brentford will pay a £37m fixed fee, plus add-ons, for the Burkina Faso international.

Yoane Wissa’s departure from Brentford is taking shape after weeks of mounting tension. The 28-year-old striker was left out by head coach Keith Andrews for the friendly against the Germans, Brentford’s final warm-up before the official season kicks off.

Football Insider revealed on Friday that after Brentford agreed a £37million deal to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth, the path could now be clear for Wissa to complete his own move to St. James’ Park.

Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie reports that the Magpies expect to swiftly move for Wissa now that the Bees have found a replacement in Ouattara. The Burkinabe winger is joining Keith Andrews' side in a club-record £42m deal.
