Gael Kakuta claims to be unaware of reports suggesting he could be the next Chelsea player to join Hamburg.[LNB] The Blues have already seen three promising youngsters lured to Germany by their former sporting director Frank Arnesen.[LNB]Since swapping life at Stamford Bridge for that in the Bundesliga, Arnesen has wasted no time in raiding his former employers for players of potential.[LNB]Michael Mancienne and Jacopo Sala have moved to Germany on permanent deals, while Jeffrey Bruma has joined on a season-long loan.[LNB]French winger Kakuta is said to be next on Arnesen's wish list, with the 19-year-old yet to hold down a regular role at Chelsea.[LNB]He took in a spell at Fulham last season and is aware that first-team opportunities may be limited again in 2011/12.[LNB]Kakuta is, however, tied to a long-term contract with the Blues and insists he has no immediate plans to make another move.[LNB]"I have a contract with Chelsea until 2015," he said.[LNB]"I know Frank Arnesen well and he has been good to me.[LNB]"I am not aware that he wants me in Germany."
