Sevilla have agreed a deal with Premier League champions Chelsea to sign out-of-contract winger Gael Kakuta.

The French winger, who spent last season on loan in the Primera Division with Rayo Vallecano, will arrive in Seville on Thursday to undergo a medical with the back-to-back Europa League winners.

A statement published on Sevilla's official website confirmed the 23-year-old's transfer would go through if 'everything goes well' in the Andalusian city.

The former Lens player is out of contract at Chelsea this month although the London outfit will still be due compensation for his transfer owing to Kakuta being under the age of 24.

Kakuta moved to Chelsea as a teenager in 2007 and became a prominent player for the Blues' youth team, graduating to the senior squad after two years in west London.

However, in September 2009, FIFA banned the player for four months and placed Chelsea under a transfer embargo due an alleged breach of contract with former club Lens.

The transfer ban and suspension were successfully appealed against but Kakuta would struggle for first-team action and went on loan to Fulham, Bolton, Dijon, Vitesse and then Lazio.

His sixth loan spell away from Chelsea saw him score four La Liga goals in 23 appearances for Rayo, catching the eye of Sevilla, who have offered the Frenchman a fresh start in southern Spain.
