Kakuta set to leave

Marseille look set to pip Greek outfit Olympiacos to the loan signing of Chelsea midfielder Gael Kakuta.

Kakuta has slipped even further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge following the arrival of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Marko Marin and boss Roberto Di Matteo is happy to let him move on. It looked as though Olympiacos were favourites to take him on a season-long loan deal but reports in France now claim Marseille are in the box seat to take him with a view to a permanent move.
