If the proposed two-window transfer ban imposed on Chelsea is put back, expect a very busy summer with numerous changes at Stamford Bridge.
Back in February, the Blues (£460,000) and the FA (£390,000) were fined after FIFA found the club to be in breach of regulations relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18.
Whilst the club’s appeal is ongoing, it’s up in the air whether any signings will actually be able to occur this summer but if Maurizio Sarri, or whoever is in charge, can make additions there is a good place to look for value.
Ligue 1, the French first division, is often undermined due to Paris Saint-Germain’s annual dominance but it’s home to some of Europe’s hottest prospects.
We’re looking a five Ligue 1 stars who could arrive and improve Chelsea ahead of the 2019-20, and most likely over a year without any more new faces.
