Chelsea have denied any wrongdoing amid reports that they face a FIFA investigation for breaching the governing body’s regulations regarding the signing of youth players. Reports on Tuesday claimed that FIFA have launched an inquiry into Chelsea’s conduct when recruiting foreign players under the age of 18.
The Premier League champions were hit with a transfer ban in 2009 in relation to the 2007 signing of Gael Kakuta from Lens, while FIFA last year also investigated Bertrand Traore’s move to Stamford Bridge, though no action was taken.
Responding to the reports, a Chelsea spokesman said Chelsea complies with all FIFA Statutes and Regulations when recruiting players.
