Bournemouth have made their first signing of the January window, signing winger Dango Ouattara for around £20m from French side Lorient.
The 20-year-old has scored six goals and provided six assists in 18 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
Ouattara, who has five goals in 11 international caps for Burkina Faso, joins on a five-and-a-half-year contract.
Bournemouth’s new American owner Bill Foley recently took a minority stake in Lorient.
Foley has pledged to strengthen boss Gary O’Neil’s squad in a bid to steer them away from the Premier League relegation zone.
“We are delighted to have secured the services of Dango, a promising and sought-after player with great potential,” said Cherries general manager Neill Blake.
“We’ve been following him for some time and he fits the profile of the young, ambitious, hungry and hard-working player this club is looking to sign.”
