Hull City and Lyon are leading the chase for Max Gradel with the 28-year-old unhappy that he is going unused by Bournemouth.
Gradel has featured for just nine minutes in the Premier League this season and is in a race against time with the transfer window shutting on Wednesday.
Sources close to the player have said that a falling out with Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe led to the Ivory Coast international wanting to leave.
A loan is also a possibility, given Gradel only signed a new four-year deal with Bournemouth in July.
