Bournemouth midfielder Max Gradel has joined Toulouse on a season-long loan deal.

Sky Sports News reported on Tuesday that the winger was set for a temporary switch to the Ligue 1 club, after Bournemouth rejected a permanent bid from Toulouse earlier this summer - with Cherries boss Eddie Howe saying the player was a key part of his plans.

Gradel will now join up with his new team-mates ahead of Toulouse' game against Paris Saint-Germain this weekend.

The forward's progress has been hampered by injury in his two years at Bournemouth 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.
