Kakuta joins Dijon, on loan from Chelsea

Chelsea got a one-year signing ban frozen by CAS in 2009 during its dispute with FIFA over luring midfielder Gael Kakuta from French club Lens. That case was eventually resolved by the clubs before a CAS panel could reach a verdict. AP

DIJON, France — Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta has joined Dijon on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old Frenchman has not made a league appearance for Chelsea this season, and briefly went on loan to Bolton.

Last season, Chelsea loaned the France under-21 international to Fulham, where he scored once in seven appearances.

Dijon announced the loan on its website but did not give more details. Kakuta’s contract at Chelsea runs out in 2015.
