Ex-Liverpool player faces jail for impersonating Chelsea's Gael Kakuta

Former Liverpool player Medi Abalimba could face a term in prison for £140,000 fraud after impersonating Chelsea's Gael Kakuta.

Former Liverpool player Medi Abalimba could face jail time for fraud after impersonating Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta.

The 25-year-old, who left Liverpool in 2009, is believed to have spent around £140,000 using a fake American Express card.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Abalimba pretended to be 23-year-old Kakuta in order to get VIP treatment in hotels, restaurants, bars and during five-star holidays.

Abalimba admitted to a number of charges at Manchester Crown Court relating to fraud and driving without a licence after he was arrested while trying to buy more than £20,000 worth of designer clothes from Selfridges.
