Ipswich Town has secured the signing of winger Abdoul Ouattara from French club Strasbourg. The 20-year-old Ivorian international has joined the team on a five-year contract, bringing his talent and flair to the squad.

Town boss Gary O’Neil stated: “Abdoul is a talented young player who offers versatility and is a great addition to our squad. We enjoyed working with him in France and are thrilled to continue at Ipswich.”

Born in Zoukpangbeu, Ivory Coast, Abdoul moved to France at 10 and joined Strasbourg’s youth academy in 2018. He debuted for the first team in a 4-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in October 2024 and became a key player under O’Neil last season, showing his adaptability across various positions.

Ouattara made 45 appearances for Strasbourg in the French top league and was part of the team that reached the UEFA Conference League semi-finals last season.

He said, “I am still young but have had some good experiences already, and I can’t wait to meet the fans and my teammates and get started.”

Since being promoted from the Championship last season, Ipswich has spent £150 million. With the signings of Ouattara and Enciso, they have now made 12 major signings.

Ipswich will start their Premier League campaign at home against Sunderland on August 22.
