Brentford are deep in negotiations with Bournemouth for winger Dango Ouattara, with the player making it clear he wants to leave the Cherries. Personal terms are expected to be straightforward, paving the way for a swift agreement.

The Bees are prepared to sanction Yoane Wissa’s sale once the Ouattara deal is finalised — a move that could set off a chain reaction in the transfer market.

With all parties aligned, the dominoes could soon start falling in what promises to be a busy end to the window.
