The deal is reportedly worth £37 million, with an additional £5 million in add-ons. Ouattara is expected to travel to London on Friday to undergo a medical checkup as part of the transfer process.

Ouattara's decision to join Brentford is understood to be driven by his desire to play for a new team after struggling to gain the full trust of his former manager, Andoni Iraola. During the 2024-25 season, Ouattara demonstrated his skills on the South Coast, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in 37 games across all competitions.

This transfer marks a significant change for Brentford, as Ouattara is set to replace Bryan Mbeumo, who recently joined Manchester United in a reported deal worth £71 million, including add-ons.
