Gaël Kakuta, who arrived at Chelsea at a young age in 2007 from Lens, has expressed his desire to leave the club. The French Espoirs (U21) player feels overwhelmed by the numerous loan spells he has experienced.
Having played for Bolton, Lens, Fulham, and Dijon on loan, Kakuta has now officially submitted a transfer request to Chelsea manager José Mourinho. In expressing his gratitude for his time at Chelsea, Kakuta emphasized that, like any professional footballer, he wishes to play regularly to rejuvenate his career and compete at a higher level. He believes he is prepared to take on this challenge and is ready for a new chapter in his football journey.
The Franco-Congolese player has decided to turn the page and seek a new challenge. Currently at Vitesse Arnhem, Kakuta was initially set to stay at Stamford Bridge until June 2015. However, he is now keen to explore opportunities that will allow him more consistent playing time and a chance to make a significant impact on the field.
