The 33-year-old, who joined Eddie Howe’s side from Crystal Palace in 2015, scored four goals in 22 appearances for the Cherries, including a vital goal at Stamford Bridge in a win over Chelsea last season, which the club have celebrated upon his departure.
All the best, @GM_83!#afcb pic.twitter.com/wPfvAdu7bh

The striker, who first joined Brighton from Rochdale in 2008, now moves back once again, having scored 15 goals in all competitions this season, for a reported fee of just under £3m.
Whilst one striker leaves, another is definitely staying put at Dean Court. Manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that Callum Wilson will not be going anywhere this month.
