D.R. CongoA nivel de clubes, Kakuta ganó la Liga Europa de la UEFA con el Chelsea en 2013, aunque no participó en la final. También fue parte del equipo que conquistó la FA Cup en 2012, y a nivel individual fue nombrado mejor jugador del torneo Esperanzas de Toulon en 2010.
Gael Kakuta es un centrocampista ofensivo francés que inició su carrera en el Chelsea, aunque no logró consolidarse en el primer equipo. A lo largo de su trayectoria, ha jugado en varios clubes de Europa, incluyendo el Sevilla, el Lazio y el Rayo Vallecano, destacando por su técnica y visión de juego. Su carrera ha estado marcada por cesiones y cambios de equipo, pero siempre ha demostrado calidad en el mediocampo.
Kakuta es un mediapunta creativo con excelente control de balón y capacidad para asistir, aunque su falta de consistencia y físico limitado han sido obstáculos en su desarrollo. Se destaca por su habilidad en espacios reducidos y su visión para filtrar pases, pero a veces carece de la resistencia necesaria para mantener un alto nivel durante todo el partido. Su rol táctico principal es el de enganche, conectando el mediocampo con la delantera.
