Brentford is set to complete a club-record transfer by signing Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a fee exceeding £40 million, reported to be around £42 million including add-ons. The 23-year-old Burkinabé forward, formerly of Lorient, is expected to replace Bryan Mbeumo, who recently transferred to Manchester United. Ouattara has expressed his desire to join Brentford and is scheduled to undergo medical tests shortly. Meanwhile, Bournemouth is close to securing a replacement by agreeing to a £25 million deal with Liverpool for winger Ben Doak. Doak impressed during his loan spell at Middlesbrough in the Championship last season, and formal steps to finalize the transfer are underway.
