Town have announced that the new home, away and keeper kits for the 2013/14 season will be officially unveiled on Saturday 25th May, although some supporters will get an earlier chance to view them and buy a home strip.
Of those talents who were unable to take the next step, none were hyped up more than Kakuta, a player for whom Chelsea risked a transfer ban, but ultimately disposed of without generating any headlines.
Still only 29, Kakuta’s career has been remarkably nomadic. Managed by Clarence Seedorf, Manuel Pellegrini and Peter Bosz after leaving Chelsea, his time in the game has taken in Premier League, Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Serie A and La Liga, not to mention a spell in the Chinese Super League under Owen Coyle.
“I play with a smile, he said. You need to feel loved and my team-mates help me a lot. When I went to China everyone said ‘Gael Kakuta is over’, but no, my aim is to join a great club in Europe.”
