The Frenchman enjoyed a successful loan spell at Rayo Vallecano last term, scoring five goals and setting up seven to help the club to La Liga safety.
The 23-year-old is now reportedly on his way to Europa League champions Sevilla on a four-year deal after seeing out his contract at Chelsea.
And Jemez is confident that Kakuta will be an instant success at Los Rojiblancos.
“Sevilla have a good eye for players. These kinds of players, with natural talent, are best when they’re surrounded by better players,” Jemez told Radio Marca.
“I have no doubt he will do well at Sevilla, who are playing in so many competitions that he will be needed.

"Gael can play at Sevilla perfectly, and at least keep up with the players there.
“This was the first year he has started and he put in great performances. He is a hard working guy and a great guy.
“He’s had an outstanding season and at a big team like Sevilla he can show everything he has given us.
“We’ve used him on either wing but he has a great left foot, so I put him on the right to exploit that.
“We worked hard on the defence and he responded phenomenally well. He’s a guy who almost never missed training.”
