Ancelotti believes Mikel will show his qualities as a creative midfielder.
“I have a lot of trust in Mikel,” he told The Daily Mail. “I think he can be the playmaker of this team. He is a young player, but has great quality, both technical and tactical.
“For the present and for the future he is a very important player for us. We are very happy he has signed a new contract and I hope that he stays at Chelsea for a lot of years.
“I would like that he puts in his great quality for the team.”
