Clevemayer 764 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 wonder who his source is, goal.comEXCLUSIVEBy Wayne VeyseyFulham have made a move to bring Chelsea attacker Gael Kakuta to Craven Cottage for a second loan spell, Goal.com can disclose. The Cottagers have contacted their west London neighbours to enquire about Kakuta's availability next season but were told that new manager Andre Villas-Boas wants to monitor the Frenchman in pre-season training before making a decision about his future. Kakuta, 20, spent the second half of last season on loan at Craven Cottage and impressed the club, despite a spell out injured and even though he only started two of his seven games. New manager Martin Jol is keen to lower the average age of his squad and will use the loan market, as well as a transfer kitty of around £15 (around €17) million, to bring in new blood. Kakuta is also a target for Hamburg, with ex-Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen a central figure in the bid to take him to the Bundesliga. Arnesen is said to be keen to land the player on a permanent deal but is also willing to consider the option of a loan switch as he plots to make him the fifth Stamford Bridge player to move to the German club in the transfer window, following Michael Mancienne, Gokhan Tore, Jacopo Sala and the on-loan Jeffrey Bruma. "There have been discussions about Fulham having Kakuta back," a source told Goal.com. "He is also on Hamburg's list. It will be interesting to see what Villas-Boas makes of him as Chelsea have not got a player who fits his profile. "Kakuta is unorthodox, innovative and [has] got real skill and ability. He can also score as many as [Florent] Malouda and [salomon] Kalou." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 AVB will run the rule over Kakuta before any descsion is made on him. The difference with Bruma and Kakuta is that there is clearly the oppertunity in Kakuta's positions to be considered as a very useful squad player whereas Bruma has too many people ahead of him now. Sending him back to Fulham would be a worry because they hardly payed him last season but with a new manager it might be different. This is an important pre season for Kakuta, he needs to play games, he has done precious little of that in the last 2 seasons and it has not helped him one bit.
