Real Betis Confirms Ouattara signing with two year deal

July 19, 2020

Basketballghana.com confirm Ghana born French International player Yakuba Ouattara has departed Monaco and signed for Coosur Real Betis.

The Spanish side has signed the Shooting Guard on a two year contract but financial details of the deal are yet to be released.

BROOKLYN, NY – SEPTEMBER 25: Yakuba Ouattara #00 of the Brooklyn Nets poses for a portrait during the 2017-2018 Brooklyn Nets Media Day at the Hospital for Special Surgery Training Center on September 25, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York.

This ends Ouattara’s five year run with Monaco in the French Pro A where the Tepa born player won two domestic titles with the province club.

Moving to Betis is another step up for Ouattara since the Spanish Endesa League is rated higher than the French Pro A. The 28 year old player featured briefly for Long Island Nets in the NBA Gatorade League on the books of Brooklyn Nets in the main NBA.

His tenacity on defense and physical style of play compliments Betis style and his experience competing for France at the Under 20 level and occasionally at the Senior level should improve the team’s overall quality.
