Djibril Ouattara attracts PSL interest ahead of January transfer window

Burkina Faso international striker Djibril Ouattara is attracting growing interest from clubs in the Premier Soccer League, according to his South African representatives.

The 27-year-old forward is currently with Rwandan giants APR FC, but his situation has drawn attention with the January transfer window approaching.

Ouattara’s contract with APR FC is due to expire next year, potentially making him an appealing option for clubs seeking to strengthen their attacking departments.

His representatives have indicated that discussions around a possible move to South Africa are gathering pace, although no agreement has been reached at this stage.

Sources suggest the PSL’s big three are expected to compete for the striker’s signature, with the prospect of a move to South Africa developing into one of the key transfer stories to follow in January.

Ouattara has continued to make an impression for APR FC through his goalscoring ability and his contribution to chances created for teammates. His game is not limited to finishing, however, as he is also valued for his link-up play and involvement in building attacks.

Those qualities could increase his appeal to clubs looking for an experienced international forward capable of contributing in several areas of the attacking game.

The Burkina Faso international’s contract position is also likely to add to the interest. With his current deal entering its final months, clubs may examine whether they can secure his services as they plan for the second half of the season.

While there has been no confirmation of a preferred destination or formal agreement, interest from the PSL’s leading clubs could intensify as the January window gets closer.

Ouattara’s potential availability provides an opportunity for interested sides to assess an established striker whose current spell with APR FC is approaching a decisive point.
