Chelsea boss Graham Potter has responded to complaints by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola about Chelsea’s spending in the transfer market.

Following Chelsea’s goalless draw with Fulham on Friday night, Potter was asked for his opinion on his rivals’ comments and was questioned over whether he fully understood how Chelsea were complying with FFP.

He replied: “Yeah I do. And I think you’ve got to look at it all in terms of an investment, in terms of transfer fees and salaries.

“Because sometimes you can sign a player for less of a transfer fee but their salaries are enormous.

“So it just depends on how you structure, how you structure the deal, but we’re confident with what we’re doing.

“I think the [recruitment] guys have done a good job, the club have done a really, really good, and now my job is to improve the team.”
