Gaël Kakuta should find in the coming days a club whose colors he defended during the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 seasons. He had left the Somme in the summer of 2020 to join his training club after the return of Lens to Ligue 1. His first season had also been a real success with 11 goals scored and 5 assists distributed in 35 games played.
A replacement role at Lens which cannot satisfy him
In Artois, for a few months he lost his starting status, in favor of the young Pereira Da Costa, untouchable in Franck Haise’s 11 since the start of the season. Hampered by injuries, Kakuta only entered twice during the match. He played just 11 minutes against Lorient on August 31 and 9 at Nantes on September 18.
