Youth team product Gradel impressed while on loan at Bournemouth in 2007/08 and will now look to take that form back to Leicester
A product of the Foxes Academy, Gradel earned a reputation as an exciting and tricky – if a little raw – winger in the club’s youth and reserve strings, earning a professional contract in May 2007.
Given an opportunity to make his league bow on loan, he joined Bournemouth in August 2007, and he proved to be a big hit in two spells at the club.
With 32 appearances under his belt and nine goals, Gradel’s form earned him a new three-year deal at Leicester in June 2008, where it is anticipated he will start featuring regularly in the first team set up.
