Officially relegated to Ligue 2 with Amiens, Gal Kakuta wants to stay in the elite of French football. Three Ligue 1 teams won him over: Strasbourg, Saint-tienne and more recently RC Lens, his training club.
To catch Kakuta, Strasbourg is not kidding.

It would be an understatement to say that Amiens had trouble digesting its relegation to Ligue 2, formalized last Thursday following the final stop of the 2019-2020 season in Ligue 1.
The Picard club therefore attempted online petition to claim a 22-team championship, before a probable legal appeal. But, a priori, the Professional Football League will not change their minds, and this will upset the future of the American attacking midfielder Gal Kakuta (28).
With Strasbourg, a colle
Last summer, the former great hope of French football returned to Picardy after a successful first visit in 2017-2018. And he again gave satisfaction, with in particular an XXL performance against Paris Saint-Germain (4-4) in February. Without the descent, he would probably have continued the adventure with Amiens, where he is under contract until 2022. But according to information from L’quipe, the left-hander does not want to hear about L2.
And that’s good since two formations of the elite have already looked at its profile: Strasbourg and Saint-tienne. In Alsace, those who left Rayo Vallecano last summer would adapt perfectly to the playful profile of the team coached by Thierry Laurey, while the Saint-Etienne track could be more complicated. Indeed, Ryad Boudebouz, who works in the same position as Kakuta, assured that he would stay with the Greens in 2020-2021.
Lens, back to square one for Kakuta?
But a third L1 club has come to the fore according to The Team. And this delay is rather logical, since it has just returned! Indeed, RC Lens, officially promoted since Thursday, is looking to set up a competitive team in order to wrest support from next season. In this register, Kakuta has everything of the perfect rookie, him who had allowed Amiens not to go down in 2018, and who could perhaps have done it again in 2020 if the championship was at its end …
According to the team, the former Dijon serves as a priority for Lens in the offensive sector. It must be said that the Northerners know the player well, trained at the club before joining Chelsea in 2007, when he was only 16 years old. And Kakuta has not forgotten this sweet period either. Also according to our colleagues, he would see himself drawing his career in L1, in a region he appreciates, so Lens. Remain to find an arrangement with Amiens, which had recruited it for 3 M € last summer. Place your bets !
