Ouattara has signed a five-year contract at the Gtech Community Stadium with the option of an additional year.
It's a welcome boost for Keith Andrews' side as they've already lost Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United this summer and look poised to lose Yoane Wissa to Newcastle United before the transfer window closes.
