Chelsea has vowed to vigorously contest FIFA sanctions that would prevent the London club from signing any new players until January 2011.
World football's governing body announced the ban on Thursday after its Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) concluded that the Premier League club had induced promising French youngster Gael Kakuta to break his contract with his first club Lens.
FIFA's DRC said Chelsea would not be allowed to register players in the next two transfer windows -- January 2010 and the period between the end of the current season and the end of August 2010.
Kakuta was banned from playing for four months and ordered to pay Lens 780,000 euros compensation. Chelsea will be liable for that amount and a further compensation payment of 130,000 euros to the French club. Click to read more...
