With 11 goals and 5 assists in Ligue 1 during the 2020-2021 financial year, Gaël Kakuta had one of his best seasons under the colors of RC Lens.
Elected best African player of the season in the French league, the DR Congo midfielder saw the Sang et Or exercise his option to buy. At the same time, the former Chelsea player catches the eye of some clubs. Proof that its sale cannot be ruled out.
And that’s good for the leaders of RC Lens, since the Portuguese media O Jogo announces that Kakuta is in particular in the sights of Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle.
A departure for Sporting could interest the ex-player of Amiens, since the Portuguese club is qualified for the next Champions League. And Newcastle will not be bad for Gaël Kakuta too. Even if the English club will not evolve on the European level next season, it could offer a better salary to the Congolese international.
While he wants to put his bags down in Lens permanently, it remains to be seen whether Kakuta will agree to leave, he who has already known 12 clubs in his career.
