Kakuta signs on with Hebei Fortune in China

Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune has completed the signing of Sevilla winger Gael Kakuta.

Former Chelsea forward Gael Kakuta has sealed a reported 4.6 million pound ($6.7 million) move to Chinese Super League outfit Hebei China Fortune.

Kakuta, 24, joined Sevilla in June 2015 after he was released by Chelsea, where he graduated from the youth academy.

The winger made 16 senior appearances in six seasons with the Premier League club, while he also spent time out on loan at Fulham, Bolton Wanderers, Dijon, Vitesse, Lazio and Rayo Vallecano.

Kakuta made just two appearances in La Liga for Sevilla this season, having spent most of the campaign on the sidelines through injury.
