Dango Ouattara, the 22-year-old Burkinabe striker, is shining brightly for AFC Bournemouth. Although he has had a fantastic season with some top level performances, it is in recent games that his ability to lead the ‘Cherry’ forward line following the long-term injuries to Evanilson and Enes Ünal is really coming into its own.
Indeed, in his last match against Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium, the Burkinabe converted three chances into three goals, making a significant contribution to his side’s comprehensive 5-0 win. With the three points, Andoni Iraola’s side are in seventh place on 40 points, very close to the top places (only four points behind the third-placed side).
Dango Ouattara, a ‘total striker’:
Dango Ouattara’s style of play is characterised by his pace, dribbling ability and ability to get off the mark, which has allowed him to be a constant threat to opposing defences. In addition, he is performing well and taking responsibility for his team-mates in attack.
What has most caught the attention of Cherries fans has been the player’s versatility. His versatility has allowed him to adapt to different positions in attack, standing out both as a winger and centre forward. In addition, he is a very complete player, among the six goals he has scored this season we can find many headers, others from individual play or long-range shots, which shows the quality of the player.
Perfect harmony with Andoni Iraola:
Although last season he showed flashes of quality, it has been this year with Iraola more established on the bench that he has found the perfect harmony with the coach and teammates. The Basque coach has been able to enhance the player’s qualities within his tactical scheme based on high pressing and quick transitions, which favours Dango Ouattara as he is such a quick and skilful striker.
With his outstanding performances in the Premier League, Dango Ouattara has not only cemented his place in Bournemouth’s starting XI, but has also begun to attract the attention of top clubs in Europe. If he keeps up his form, he is likely to be a name on the radar of Europe’s top clubs in the coming transfer markets.
