Playing style
G. Kakuta plays as a roaming attacking midfielder who wants to arrive, not just circulate. He looks for pockets between the lines, then sharpens the move with clean combinations, quick turns, and a direct finish when the lane opens. His game is built around timing and end product rather than volume, so he stays close to the action and attacks the box with purpose.

For Congo DR at 2026, he brings seasoned composure in the final third and a clear goal threat from midfield. In a squad needing someone who can turn half-chances into decisive moments, he offers a veteran edge that changes games fast.
