Another of Ligue 1's finest appears to be making the short trip across the English Channel as Bournemouth is poised to sign St. Etienne forward Max Gradel.

The 27-year-old Ivorian international is set to join Eddie Howe's ranks at the south coast club, according to Sky Sports.

He appeared in 31 league matches for St. Etienne last season, scoring 17 goals while playing both as a striker and on both wings, taking advantage of crossing and dribbling skills.

Gradel is the Cherries' seventh significant summer signing, joining Artur Boruc (Southampton), Tyrone Mings (Ipswich Town), Sylvain Distin (Everton), Joshua King (Blackburn), Adam Federici (Reading), and Christian Atsu (Chelsea - loan) at Dean Court for the 2015-16 Premier League season.
