Marseille confirms interest in Chelsea starlet

Marseille president Jean-Claude Dassier believes Kakuta would ‘be a good addition’ to their squad.

“Kakuta? Here at Marseille? Why not?” Dassier told French reporters.

“He would be a good addition. But it will only be for the option of a straight loan – not to buy.”

The 19-year-old recently signed a new contract that will keep him at Chelsea until 2015.
