Chelsea: Nine head out on loan

Gael Kakuta:

It seems such a long time ago now that Gael Kakuta was being touted as the hottest prospect around and all the controversy surrounding his transfer but Kakuta is still a Chelsea player. He has been on loan to various clubs since January of 2011; he had back to back loan disasters in the premier league firstly with Fulham where he made seven appearances in his half season there, and then secondly at Bolton where he made four appearances between September and Junuary.

It wasn’t until the second half of the 2011/12 season that he finally got to play games on a regular basis when he moved to Dijon in France. Finally, he was getting games and making an impression. He followed that up by playing the whole of the 2012/13 season at Vitesse where he made a total of 22 appearances and it is to Vitesse where he will return for the whole of the 2013/14 season. With Van Ginkel and Bony both leaving Vitesse there will be more emphasis on Kakuta to make and impact and hopefully he can do just that.
