Ancelotti – Kakuta is now first team and deserves a new contract

The young Frenchman Gael Kakuta, who was nearly the cause of Chelsea having a blanket ban on transfer dealings, is now entering the last year of his contract but is reportedly close to signing a vastly improved five-year extension with the Blues.

Carlo Ancelotti has great faith in Kakuta and believes that the new contract should reflect his new-found status as a member of Chelsea’s first team squad.

He said: “Now he is first team, he will have the same opportunity as the other players and he deserves to play because he trained well, he is focused and concentrated. He will play and we now have to consider him not a young player but a player in the first team.”

Good luck to him. He certainly impressed everyone when he played in the Carling Cup games last year. He is definitely a future star at Stamford Bridge…..
