Dango Ouattara: Bournemouth sign £20m Lorient winger

Bournemouth have made their first signing of the January window, recruiting winger Dango Ouattara for around £20m from French side Lorient.

Ouattara, who has five goals from 11 international caps for Burkina Faso, joins on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

Foley has pledged to strengthen boss Gary O'Neil's squad in an attempt to guide them away from the Premier League relegation zone.

"We are pleased to secure the services of Dango, a promising and sought-after player with a great deal of potential," Cherries chief executive Neill Blake said.

"We have been monitoring him for a period of time and he fits the profile of the young, ambitious, hungry and hard-working player this club is looking to recruit.
