Bournemouth’s Max Gradel makes Toulouse move permanent
Ivorian winger leaves Cherries for second time, joining side he spent last season on loan with
Bournemouth have confirmed the sale of Max Gradel to Ligue 1 side Toulouse.
The Ivorian, 30, spent the 2017/18 season with the French club and completes a permanent move for an undisclosed fee.
Gradel joined the Cherries in 2015 for £7million from Saint-Etienne, but struggled to break into Eddie Howe's team before being sent out on loan last summer.
It was his second spell at Bournemouth after spending the 2007/08 season at the Vitality Stadium on loan from then-club Leicester City.
He made 27 appearances in all competitions in the two seasons he was at the club on a permanent basis, scoring just twice.
The former Leeds man fared much better last season with Toulouse, netting 11 times in 35 games as they narrowly avoided the drop by winning a relegation play-off against Ligue 2 side Ajaccio.
