Carteron: Chelsea's Kakuta wants to come to Dijon

Dijon manager Patrice Carteron has revealed that Chelsea youngster Gael Kakuta is keen to join the club on loan.

The French outfit has held talks with Kakuta, who has recently returned to Stamford Bridge following his loan with Bolton, and Carteron insists the 20-year old Frenchman is looking to play with the Ligue 1 outfit for the remainder of the campaign.

"There's only a gentleman's agreement. Gael has confirmed to me that he has made the decision to come to Dijon," Carteron said to RMC.

"[Chelsea manager] Andre Villas-Boas also agrees with the move, but he has yet to convince the Chelsea board. They will have to put in an effort financially to make sure Gael can play at Dijon for a few months."
