Former Chelsea striker Gaël Kakuta moves to Hebei China Fortune

Gaël Kakuta has become the latest player to move to the Chinese Super League, with the former Chelsea winger joining Hebei China Fortune.

The 24-year-old swapped west London for Sevilla in the summer having failed to make his mark at Stamford Bridge and spent loan spells with six different clubs.

Sevilla reportedly had to pay €3.5m (£2.5m) compensation for the out-of-contract Kakuta – a fee they are reported to have nearly doubled by selling the Frenchman on to China.

His former Chelsea team-mate Ramires, Liverpool target Alex Teixeira and Colombia striker Jackson Martínez have all made big-money moves to the Chinese Super League in recent weeks.

Kakuta now joins former QPR midfielder – and Sevilla team-mate - Stéphane Mbia at Hebei China Fortune, where ex-Arsenal forward Gervinho is now also plying his trade.

Kakuta moved to Chelsea as a teenager in 2007 and became a prominent player for the Blues’ youth team, graduating to the senior squad after two years in west London.

However, in September 2009, Fifa banned the player for four months and placed Chelsea under a transfer embargo due to an alleged breach of contract with his former club Lens.

The transfer ban and suspension were successfully appealed against, but Kakuta would struggle for first-team action and went on loan to Fulham, Bolton, Dijon, Vitesse, Lazio then Rayo Vallecano.

Burak Yilmaz, the Turkey international, has also gone to China, joining Beijing Guoan from Galatasaray.

The excuses...

Funny how Gazidis was running his mouth last year of how Arsenal are ready to compete financially and commercially with the rest of Europe and all of a sudden the "We have no money to spend" excuses start coming in with the clubs bad run of results ( A usual sight under Wenger's tenure in recent years). And not too long ago Wenger was boasting how the club have money to spend and how he's only looking for "super quality" to bring in.

Well, I guess Elneny was that "Super quality" that Wenger was talking about ( So quality in fact that he couldn't even earn a place on the bench last game). This club has put out so many false hopes and stories that it's hard to believe anything they say. It's a sad sight to see such a once proud manager tarnish his legacy like this.

They offered $75 mill for Oscar? :x I would have kidnapped that dude and sent him down there myself for that kind of money. Likely Oscar turned down the move
 
Guys, guys, everyone relax. This is all part of the plan to let the other clubs spend a lot of money and win stuff... and then Arsenal's gonna come from out of nowhere and buy those clubs with all the cash they're stockpiling!

I mean, why else did the club just go a full year with spending less than £20 million?
 
I'm just waiting for a Chinese club to call and offer me $5000 a week to be an equipment guy.

If China is handing out money like that for talent I would make them take some of my overpaid non producing players along with the main talent they want.
