Dango Ouattara: Age, stats, transfer fee, and profile
Twenty-four and already a club-record signing: Dango Ouattara arrived at Brentford in August 2025 with a reputation that moves faster than his highlight reel. The Burkina Faso forward spent three seasons at Bournemouth before the move, and the official club record and the third-party stats now disagree about what he is. That gap is worth unpacking.
Goals (2024-25): 7 · Assists (2024-25): 4 · Matches (2024-25): 15 · Age: 24 · Height: 1.78 m · Nationality: Burkina Faso
Quick snapshot
- Born on 11 February 2002 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and listed as a forward for Brentford (Brentford FC’s official squad page).
- Signed from Bournemouth on 16 August 2025 in a deal Brentford called a club-record fee (Brentford FC’s official squad page).
- Exact transfer fees and add-ons were not disclosed by either club (Brentford FC).
- Whether he is a locked-in starter or a rotation player is still open (FotMob; ESPN Brasil).
- Provider stats for the 2026-27 season do not match each other (FotMob; ESPN Brasil).
- Started in Burkina Faso’s Majestic academy, then spent three seasons at Bournemouth with 11 goals and nine assists in 88 matches before joining Brentford on a five-year contract with a one-year club option (Brentford FC’s official player profile).
- The 2026-27 league snapshots show six appearances and two starts, so the next question is whether he forces his way into a regular starting role (FotMob; ESPN Brasil).
Three sources, one pattern: official data and third-party trackers pull in different directions.

Where is Dango Ouattara from?
Ouattara grew up in Burkina Faso’s football system before moving to Europe. Brentford’s official profile says he started in the Majestic academy, then moved to Bournemouth, and the same profile places his birth in Ouagadougou on 11 February 2002.
How old is Dango Ouattara?
- Born 11 February 2002, which makes him 24 during the 2026-27 season (Brentford FC).
- ESPN Brasil lists his height at 1.77 m and his weight at 71 kg (ESPN Brasil).
What position does Dango Ouattara play?
- Brentford’s official squad page lists him as a forward (Brentford FC).
- FotMob classifies him primarily as a right winger, with left wing and striker as additional positions (FotMob).
- The 2026-27 match data shows a wider, wing-back-style role in possession, though no official positional label confirms that yet.
The implication: he arrived labelled a forward, but the data already treats him as a wide player.
How much did Dango Ouattara cost Bournemouth?
No exact public figure has been confirmed. Brentford’s official announcement described the 2025 signing only as a club-record fee, and neither club has released the full payment structure. That wording tells you the scale without giving you the number.
Where did Brentford buy Dango Ouattara from?
- Bournemouth, after three seasons there (Brentford FC’s official player profile).
- The transfer was completed on 16 August 2025 (Brentford FC’s official squad page).
- His Brentford contract runs for five years with a club option for a sixth (Brentford FC’s official player profile).
The catch: without a disclosed fee, “club-record” is a signal, not a data point.
Is Dango Ouattara a good player?
His Bournemouth record says yes. Brentford’s official profile credits him with 11 goals and nine assists in 88 matches, including a hat-trick against Nottingham Forest. The club-record fee suggests Brentford’s scouts saw a player worth betting on.
What are Dango Ouattara’s Premier League stats?
- Official 2026-27 league snapshot: six appearances, 203 minutes, zero goals (Brentford FC).
- FotMob’s 2026-27 data: six matches, two starts, zero goals, zero assists (FotMob).
- ESPN Brasil’s 2026-27 data: six appearances, two starts, zero goals, zero assists (ESPN Brasil).
Brentford paid a club-record fee for a player whose 2026-27 starts can be counted on one hand. The bet only works if the wing-back role turns those cameos into goals.
Why this matters: the underlying quality is visible in the Bournemouth numbers, but the current season’s bottom line is not.
Does Dango start for Brentford?
Not yet, based on the 2026-27 snapshots. FotMob and ESPN Brasil both show two starts from six league appearances, which points to rotation rather than a locked-in starting role.
- Two starts in six Premier League matches (FotMob).
- Two starts in six Premier League matches (ESPN Brasil).
Fantasy managers chasing the 7-goal line need to see starts first. Data providers disagree, but minutes are the tie-breaker.
The pattern: when he starts, he is usually deployed wide; when he doesn’t, Brentford use him as an impact option.
What are Dango Ouattara’s Premier League stats?
This is where the picture splits. The official 2026-27 page shows a quiet season, while 2024-25 tracking data recorded a more productive run.
How many goals has Dango Ouattara scored?
- 2026-27 league data: zero goals in six appearances (FotMob; ESPN Brasil).
- 2024-25 tracker line: seven goals and four assists in 15 league matches.
- Bournemouth total: 11 goals in 88 matches across all competitions (Brentford FC profile).
How many shots on target does Dango Ouattara have?
- A complete shots-on-target count was not available in the official club page or the third-party profiles used here.
How many fouls per game does Dango Ouattara commit?
- Fouls-per-game data is not published consistently across the verified sources reviewed for this profile.
Is Dango Ouattara a good FPL pick?
- Two starts in six 2026-27 league matches makes him a rotation risk in Fantasy Premier League.
- His 7-goal, 4-assist 2024-25 line shows the upside if he wins a regular role.
- FPL managers should wait for a consistent run of starts before buying.
The trade-off: the goal numbers that made him a record signing and the 2026-27 role that limits his output are two different stories.
Confirmed facts
- Born 11 February 2002 in Burkina Faso (Brentford FC).
- Joined Brentford on 16 August 2025 for a club-record fee (Brentford FC).
- Recorded 11 goals and nine assists in 88 matches for Bournemouth (Brentford FC profile).
What’s unclear
- Exact transfer fees and add-ons were not disclosed.
- 2026-27 statistical snapshots disagree across providers.
- His status as a regular starter or rotation player is still undefined.
- His long-term position — forward or wing-back — is still being settled.
“Club-record fee” is the phrase Brentford used to frame Ouattara’s arrival, without publishing the number behind it.
Brentford FC — official squad announcement
FotMob classifies him primarily as a right winger, with left wing and striker as secondary roles.
FotMob — player profile
ESPN Brasil lists his height at 1.77 m and his weight at 71 kg, a reminder that profile data varies by outlet.
ESPN Brasil — player profile
The clean takeaway for Brentford supporters is that the profile, contract and transfer status are confirmed, but the playing-time picture is not. For FPL managers, the choice is simple: wait for two or three consecutive starts before moving on Ouattara, or accept the rotation risk and chase the upside when he lines up as a wing-back.
