Gael Kakuta is being lined up for a possible return to the Premier League, with at least three teams scrambling to secure the attacking midfielder’s signature.
The former Chelsea forward has excelled on his return to Lens, scoring 11 times and registering five assists as they bid to secure European football in their first season back in Ligue 1.
His performances have ensured his loan move from Ligue 2 Amiens will become permanent this summer – with a €5million (£4.3m) move and two-year deal triggered after Franck Haise’s side secured their top-flight status for another season.
