Brentford have reached agreement in principle over a deal worth £42m to sign winger Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth.
The versatile Burkina Faso international will undergo a medical today ahead of a move to the Bees.
Ouattara had three years left on his contract but made it clear that he wanted to leave.
The Cherries had little alternative but to allow the highly rated winger to go, for a price they felt was reasonable market value at £37m plus add-ons of £5m.
His arrival could now clear the path for Yoane Wissa to leave with Newcastle United keen to save the 28-year old.
