Gourlay says Mourinho fully behind Chelsea transfer policy

Chelsea chief Ron Gourlay says manager Jose Mourinho is fully behind their transfer policy.

Mourinho fully understands, says Gourlay, that the club must be self-sustaining.

Gourlay told the London Evening Standard: "This transfer window we have financed purchases from sales. This is definitely the first time. Now Chelsea have to chase the penny and work much harder across the business as a result of Financial Fair Play.

"We've shocked a few people in football because the first team they thought would fail FFP was Chelsea. We're completely in a good shape."
