CHERRIES star Max Gradel is today expected to put the finishing touches to a season-long loan move to French Ligue 1 outfit Toulouse.
Gradel last night flew to France to undergo a medical at the Stadium Municipal, which is due to take place this afternoon.
Cherries initially rejected Toulouse's loan bid just days after the Ivorian had revealed hopes of reigniting his career in Dorset.
The former Leeds man joined Cherries in a £7m move from Saint-Etienne in August 2015 but saw his first season wrecked by a serious knee injury which kept him out for six months.
He was restricted to 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League last term, fuelling speculation he could be set to depart during the current transfer window.
Sunderland, Hull, Leeds, Nantes and Besiktas were all linked with the wide man, who did not feature in Eddie Howe's matchday squad in the Premier League curtain-raiser against West Brom.
