REPORTS in Sweden have linked Swiss club FC Zurich with a loan move for Tokelo Rantie.

Football Direkt stated Zurich hoped to land the South African international on a season-long loan and that the club were prepared to cover the ex-Malmo frontman’s wages.

Rantie, who has a year left to run on his contract at Vitality Stadium, was not included in Cherries’ Premier League squad in the second half of the season and made just three substitute appearances in the league during the entire campaign.

He was also sidelined for an extended period by a shin injury he sustained in the 2-1 FA Cup win at Birmingham City in January.
