The world football’s governing body, FIFA, will today study an appeal by Chelsea against a ban that currently means the Premier League giants will be unable to recruit new players this summer or in the January 2020 transfer window.
The Blues were banned from signing players for the next two transfer windows after being found guilty in February of breaching regulations relating to the recruitment of minors.
Chelsea denied any wrongdoing and subsequently lodged an appeal with FIFA, which will be examined today, although a decision could take weeks.
Chelsea will eagerly await the FIFA decision, notably because under the ban the club would be unable to sign a replacement for Belgium striker, Eden Hazard, who is being touted as a possible one hundred million pounds transfer target for Real Madrid.
