Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, has criticized Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere for smoking while on holiday.

Pictures of the England international having a puff hit the Internet this week and Mourinho has said it was wrong, as a lott of kids look up to footballers.

“What football players do, millions and millions are watching, lots of kids are watching,” he said.

“I’m not a specialist obviously but I don’t think if a football player smokes one cigar or cigarette with friends in the summer when he is not training – I don’t think it affects his performance.

“What gets affected is that a kid at home says if a top football player can smoke then I can smoke and it is not a problem.

“It is more a social consequence than a physical consequence.

“Being angry is not a solution but I would just explain exactly that, that everything they do or wear is part of the kids’ life.

“If they smoke, maybe the kids think they do it a lot of times and they will probably do the same.”

The former Real Madrid manager, also said that Chelsea are done in this summer’s transfer market, after they brought in Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa and Filipe Luis.

“I have to say my club did a fantastic job and not just because of what we bought but a fantastic job because we did it almost in record time,” Mourinho said. “The market closes at 31 August and we close our market on 19 July. We finished our market today. The club did fantastic. We knew the targets, we knew the players. The club attacked them and their clubs at a very early stage. We got exactly what we need. The squad is a squad I like very much.”

Mourinho does not expect Chelsea to sign any more players. “The market is open but we are so happy with what we have. We feel our squad is what we want. We don’t want a squad of only finished products. We want to bring to the first team three or four under-21 players. We are going to develop players and are happy with this balance we have.”
