Chelsea chief Michael Emenalo has defended their transfer policy.

Emenalo says they're building for the long-term.

He told chelseafc.com: "As part of the policy from four years ago, this is a long-term plan and Eden Hazard came at the age of 21, Oscar came at 20, Ramires came at a young age – 23 - and they are growing now and understand what it means to play at Chelsea Football Club.

"Eden has never really been under pressure before in his career but he will get past this and he will become a Chelsea player who knows how to deal with pressure, knowing that the club has to win and it has to win playing well. It is a deliberate policy to sign on long contracts these players who are going to help us grow."
