Vitesse Arnhem chief Mohammed Allach has defended their relationship with Chelsea.

Allach insists they're more than a Chelsea development team.

"The real Vitesse supporter can see what we are doing. I think that's more important," argued Allach.

"The squad is therefore stronger. The cooperation with Chelsea is perfect.

"The coming years wil see Vitesse a stable participant in the Eredivisie."

Matt Miazga, Mukhtar Ali, Lewis Baker and Nathan are all on-loan at Vitesse from Chelsea.
