Chelsea boss Ancelotti: Kakuta as good as anything I have seen

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is ready to hand Gael Kakuta a Premiership debut today against Wolves.

Chelsea are set to unveil the prodigy that got them into a heap of transfer trouble - 18-year-old Kakuta - from the bench today, with Ancelotti raving about him: "At his age, I have never seen one player with his talent."

Ancelotti added: "He suffered for one or two weeks about the situation but he is a very good talent. His character is good, he is a quiet boy.

"Technically, he is fantastic, his left foot is very good. He is a No 10 like Deco or Joe Cole. He is not ready to start but will be able to come on. He still needs to improve his physical quality, though technically he is ready."
