Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says Gael Kakuta is a better player than Manchester City star Adam Johnson.

After the trouble they went through to get him, Kakuta must be good.

"This is an opinion," Ancelotti said in response to the suggestion that his bench was rather inadequate compared to Mancini's at the weekend.

"I think Kakuta is a fantastic player, maybe better than Adam Johnson - it depends on your point of view."
