Chelsea Youngster Wants to Leave for Regular First-Team Football
Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta claims he does not want to return to Stamford Bridge, after his loan spell with Vitesse Arnhem.
The 21-year-old, who joined the Blues from Lens back in 2007, has managed just six Premier League appearances so far and has had loan spells with Fulham, Bolton Wanderers and Dijon, after failing to establish himself at the west London outfit.
Kakuta is currently on a season-long loan at Vitesse. The Frenchman has made 17 appearances in all competitions for the Eredivisie side and has stated that he would like to leave Chelsea and join a club that can offer him regular first-team football.
"I don't dream about Chelsea any more - I used to, now I know better. I hope I can join a club like Vitesse next season, where I can play every week. Chelsea have far too many players. At my age I need to play regularly but if I go back I'll just get 10 minutes a month and I don't want that," Kakuta said.
Hazard Happy with Form
Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard has expressed his delight in his current run of form.
The Belgian, who arrived from Lille last summer, has been highly impressive of late, starring in the Europa League triumphs over Sparta Prague and Steaua Bucharest, and also caught the eye against Manchester United and West Ham United in the domestic competitions.
"My confidence is really up at the moment and I feel good in myself. It's quite weird because, historically, March always seems to be the best time of the year for me. Last year I got player of the month in Ligue 1, and a couple of years ago I won the same award. I don't know why but it seems as though things come good for me at this time of the season," Hazard pointed out.
"It's been a good season for me so far but I could have done better in certain situations. There have been good moments and bad moments, both for me individually and the team, but hopefully we can finish the season strongly," the 22-year-old added.
