Dijon have announced on their official website that they have secured the loan signing of Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old winger returns to his native France, having recently endured unsuccessful temporary spells with Fulham and Bolton in the Premier League.
The youngster revealed on Monday that he had been attracted by the Ligue 1 club's attractive brand of football.
Kakuta arrived back at Stamford Bridge from his spell with Owen Coyle's Bolton at the end of December, having featured six times for the Trotters in all competitions and scoring one goal.
The Frenchman was the subject of controversy following his move to Chelsea from Lens in 2009, with Fifa initially ruling that he had breached his contract in moving to England, fining Kakuta and imposing a transfer ban on the Blues.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport later lifted the sanctions on both player and club.
Dijon, who were promoted from Ligue 2 last season, are currently in 15th place in the French top flight.
