Abou Ouattara: Valenciennes FC sign former Lille forward

The Burkina Faso international will continue his professional career with the Athenians having left Les Dogues

Valenciennes FC have completed the signing of Abou Ouattara from French elite division side Lille.

The 21-year-old has been handed a three-year contract for an undisclosed for by the Athenians, and he would be hoping to command a regular place in Olivier Guegan’s squad at Stade du Hainaut.

Thanks to impressive displays at Belgian side KV Mechelen, the Burkina Faso international was signed by Lille in 2019.

However, his inability to break into Les Dogues’ first team saw him loaned to Portugal’s Primeira Liga side Vitoria Guimaraes before heading to Amiens where he featured in 11 league games.
