If you’re hoping to hear whether Chelsea are able to sign players or not this summer soon, you may be left disappointed.
FIFA imposed a two-year transfer ban on the Blues back in February for signing under-age non-EU players and the club are still waiting to hear back after appealing earlier this month.
Things don’t seem to be moving quickly though, and Evening Standard reporter Simon Johnson believes a decision isn’t imminent.

Chelsea appealed in hope that they would be able to sign players this summer, before the ban was put in place, similarly to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid over in Spain.
Maurizio Sarri will be desperate for another transfer window to work in as Eden Hazard looks certain to leave the club for in excess of £100million before his contract expires.
Christian Pulisic will arrive from Borussia Dortmund but there are plenty of other areas needing to be looked into if the club are to challenge for major honours again next term.
