Sevilla midfielder Gael Kakuta will join Gervinho in Hebei Fortune, the newly-promoted Chinese Super League (CSL) football club announced on Saturday morning.

The 24-year-old Kakuta, who holds dual citizenship of France and DR Congo, is set to complete his China move reportedly worth 6 million euros ($6.69 million), following the signing of Roma forward Gervinho in January.

The former Chelsea player appeared only 184 minutes for Sevilla since he joined the La Liga side last summer, offering one goal and one assist.
