D.R. CongoKakuta conquistou a Liga Europa da UEFA com o Chelsea em 2013, além de títulos nacionais como a FA Cup e a Copa da Liga Inglesa. Individualmente, foi eleito o Jogador do Ano do Lens em 2014 e teve passagens por seleções de base da França.
Gael Kakuta é um meio-campista ofensivo francês que iniciou sua carreira nas categorias de base do Lens, mas ganhou destaque no Chelsea, onde foi contratado ainda jovem. Ele teve passagens por diversos clubes europeus, incluindo Vitesse, Lazio e Sevilla, buscando regularidade e minutos em campo. Kakuta é conhecido por sua habilidade técnica e visão de jogo, embora não tenha atingido o potencial esperado no mais alto nível.
Kakuta é um meia criativo com excelente drible e capacidade de passes precisos, atuando principalmente entre as linhas adversárias. Sua principal fraqueza é a inconsistência e a falta de impacto defensivo, o que o limita em sistemas táticos mais exigentes. Ele se destaca em espaços reduzidos e em transições ofensivas, mas precisa de liberdade para criar jogadas.
