Gradel, who arrived at Bournemouth in 2015, boasts 101 appearances in Ligue 1 from his time at AS Saint-Etienne. A product of Leicester City, he tallied 31 goals with Les Verts, 17 of which came in 2014-15. During his first season with the Cherries, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, limiting him to just 14 Premier League appearances in his first campaign at Dean Court.
After falling 3-2 to AS Monaco in its first game of the Ligue 1 season, Toulouse bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Montpellier HSC.
