Bournemouth have ‘reached agreement’ for signing – Club ‘about to sell’ player to O’Neil’s side

AFC Bournemouth have ‘reached an agreement’ with FC Lorient for the transfer of Dango Ouattara in the winter market, according to Foot Mercato.

Operating on both the right and left wing, he has scored six goals and registered six assists from 18 league matches this season.

The 20-year-old’s fine displays have seduced several Premier League clubs, including Gary O’Neil’s side.

It was Bournemouth who took action by tabling a bid of €27.5m including bonuses for the Burkina Faso international. This proposal seems to have been accepted by the Ligue 1 side and the deal to take the forward to the Vitality Stadium is on the right track.

Lorient are ‘about to sell’ Ouattara and the report states that only a few details are to be settled between the parties involved in the operation.

Last week, we covered a report from France that Everton are one of the clubs to have shown interest in Ouattara. The Toffees are set for disappointment as Bournemouth have taken the lead and are close to completing a deal for the player.
