Chelsea's Kakuta set for Fulham loan

Chelsea young gun Gael Kakuta is set to make the short trip to Fulham for a loan deal it has been reported.

The 19-year old, who recently signed a five-year deal with the Blues, will develop his game further under Mark Hughes at Craven Cottage when he completes the signing of a short-term deal.

Kakuta has made five league appearances and 12 total in all competitions with Chelsea this season and Carlo Ancelotti wants him to get regular game time to help fast track his development.

Hughes is keen to tie up the deal before the weekend despite clubs like Marseille, Bordeaux and Lille all keen on the former Lens academy star.
