Bournemouth midfielder Max Gradel is set to join Toulouse on a season-long loan deal, according to Sky sources.

Gradel's progress in two years at Bournemouth has been hampered by injury after he damaged a cruciate ligament just four games after arriving from Saint-Etienne.

The 29-year-old, who also spent a chunk of last season away at the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, has started just 11 Premier League games for the club.
