Gerard is Mikel’s toughest and he misses Kalou

John Obi Mikel has admitted to missing his good friend Salomon Kalou at Stamford Bridge, and says he hasn't replaced him with a new best friend yet, though Petr Cech and Daniel Sturridge are now in competition for the Ivorian's worst dressed player at Chelsea title.

Mikel was also asked by @SeBlueLion who his toughest opponent in his Premier League years has been and he picked Steven Gerard.

'I think the toughest I played against is Steven Gerrard,' he said. 'I think he's very tough, the way he goes about his game. He doesn't give the ball to you, he's skilful and technically sound. He doesn't shy away from tackles and he gets stuck in. He's the one.'
