West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen is supportive of Chelsea's transfer policy.

Bowen is preparing to face the Irons this weekend.

He told whufc.com: "Chelsea have obviously done things a different way, but they've got the resources and are building for the future.

"If you look, they've bought players who are 21 or 22, so obviously they are there for a long-term project, to be there for however many years.

"Sometimes it can take a bit of time to gel, particularly when players are new to the Premier League, but I've watched a few of their games and their players have looked really, really good.

"So, it will be difficult, we know that, but it's always a great game when we play Chelsea. The fans love it and we as players love playing in it as well.

"I think we can build on our recent performances and we've got three good games behind us against Everton, Derby and Newcastle to give us that bit of confidence and feelgood going into this game.

"We just need to start a bit quicker than we did at St James' Park last weekend!

"That said, we reacted well and controlled the game pretty well and could have won it. We need to start strong this afternoon, put them on the back foot."
