Gaël Kakuta Accepts Dijon Loan

On January 11, 2012, Chelsea forward Gaël Kakuta accepted a loan offer from French club Dijon until the end of the 2011-2012 season.

Gaël Kakuta

Dijon were promoted from Ligue 2 at the end of last season and currently sit in 16th spot in the Ligue 1 table. He has previously made 16 appearances for Chelsea (assisting two goals in the process), 7 appearances while on loan at Fulham (scoring one goal against Sunderland), and 6 appearances during his arguably unsuccessful loan spell at Bolton (scoring once against Aston Villa in a League Cup match).
He has also made 58 appearances at the international level, playing on the French U-16–U-21 sides and  scoring 15 goals at this level.
Good luck to him, hopefully he can grab some first-team football while in France. 

P.S. Expect news of a Gary Cahill transfer tomorrow. Apparently the two sides have patched up their wage disagreements and the deal should go through very soon.

P.P.S. Tottenham FINALLY played their postponed (due to the London riots in the summer) match with Everton, meaning that each side in the Premier League has played the same number of games! Thank the soccer gods – that was really starting to annoy me.
