Burnley keep tabs on Max Gradel as Ivory Coast forward considers leaving Bournemouth this month

Burnley are monitoring developments with Bournemouth winger Max Gradel who is ready to ask to leave the club.

Gradel, an Ivory Coast international, has not started in the Premier League this season.

The 29-year-old is currently away with his national side for the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon this month.

The Ivory Coast, defending the title they won in Equatorial Guinea two years ago, begin their campaign against Togo on Monday.

Gradel is a key part of a side that has been bolstered by the acquisition of Wilfried Zaha ahead of the tournament.
