Gradel linked with Bournemouth exit

Ivorian winger Max Gradel could be on his way out of Bournemouth just a year after he joined from Saint-Etienne. Inter Milan and West Ham United are interested in pursuing a deal for the 28-year-old.

Gradel linked up with the Cherries last summer and many predicted he could have a major say in the club's hopes of Premier League survival.

However, he ruptured his left anterior cruciate ligament and this sidelined him for much of the first-half of the season.

Since then, the Cherries have adapted well with the resources in hand, and currently find themselves well above the drop zone.

The Mail understands that the Cherries will accept the player's sale provided any club matches their £10m asking price.

League rivals West Ham United and Italian giants Inter Milan are among the leading clubs vying for Gradel's signature.

Gradel has three years left on his existing deal at Dean Court.
