Gaël Kakuta is set to continue his career in China. The Congolese-born attacking midfielder has completed his transfer from Sevilla to Hebei China Fortune, with both clubs agreeing on a deal worth €5 million.
Kakuta is expected to sign a four-year contract with the Chinese Super League side, where he will join fellow new recruits Gervinho and Stéphane M’Bia, who were confirmed last week. The midfielder is scheduled to arrive at his new club next week to begin preparations for the upcoming season.
This move marks another step in Kakuta’s diverse career, adding the Chinese Super League to a résumé that includes stints across Europe. Hebei China Fortune, aiming to strengthen their squad with high-profile signings, see Kakuta as a key addition to their attacking options.
