Kakuta open to Blues exit

Gael Kakuta has dismissed reports linking him with Marseille but says he is keen to move on if it means first-team football.



The Chelsea midfielder has struggled for action at Stamford Bridge in recent seasons and has spent spells on loan with Fulham, Bolton and French side Gijon.



Kakuta does not appear to have a future with the Blues, particularly following the arrival of Eden Hazard, Marko Marin and Oscar this summer and a move looks to be on the cards.



Marseille have been linked with a swoop but the player says he has not heard anything from the French side.



"I am flattered by Marseille's interest, but there has been nothing official, so maybe it is just paper talk," said Kakuta. "I want to play first-team football week in, week out, either at Chelsea or anywhere else."



It is highly unlikely he will get it at Chelsea so a move away will be the best option all round.
