Chelsea are one of five Premier League clubs in danger of receiving a transfer ban, according to the Telegraph.
It is believed to be linked to FIFA’s investigation into the signing of players under 18 years of age.
The report states that “French investigative website Mediapart has claimed that Fifa’s Integrity and Compliance unit have internally proposed a two-year transfer ban on the London club stretching across four windows.”
Chelsea are not the only club in danger of having a ban imposed on them, however, with a source close to the investigation saying:
This a massive investigation that will implicate a number of clubs. It will touch most of the big clubs around Europe and in the Premier League.
The Blues’ signing of Bertrand Traore is one of those thought to be being looked at, after it emerged the club broke transfer rules in signing the Burkinabe before he turned 18.
Chelsea were banned for two transfers windows back in 2009, but the penalty was eventually overturned.
