Saint-Etienne winger Max Gradel has undergone a medical at Bournemouth as he edges closer to a move to the Premier League.
The Ivorian international previously had a loan spell with the Cherries in 2007-08 during his four-year stint with Leicester City. He went on to join Leeds United in 2010, scoring 25 goals in 78 appearances before switching to Saint-Etienne for an undisclosed fee.
Gradel is a regular for his national side, having made 34 appearances for the Elephants, scoring six goals and helping them to win the 2015 African Cup of Nations.
The 27-year-old led the scoring charts for Les Verts last season, finding the net 17 times.
