Bournemouth midfielder Zemura: Ouattara is smashing it

Bournemouth midfielder Jordan Zemura believes that January arrival Dango Ouattara will excite the fans.

The Burkina Faso star arrived from Lorient in France last month and impressed in a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Ouattara came off the bench in that game to grab an assist for the Cherries' only goal of the contest.

Asked about the 20-year-old, Zemura told the Daily Echo: “Him no English, me no French. I think Siriki (Dembele) was helping him out quite well and Noa (Boutin), the young lad.

“But he's a great lad. He's only 20, he's come over here and just been smashing it.

“When he first came in, we could see the talent that he had and the qualities that he possessed.

“There's going to be a lot to be excited about for the fans, having him for the next couple of years. It was good to see him get an assist (against Forest)."
