Kakuta says Lens are ‘focused’ on the job ahead and that they are going to try prevent Lille from picking up the title.
He said in their pre-match press conference: ‘We are focused on us, it is just a bonus. We can aim to sit higher, we are going to try to do so.
‘And if we can stop Lille from winning the league title, that would be wonderful too. I prefer for PSG to become champions.’
