FIFA has allegedly recommended that Chelsea should face a two-year transfer ban for illegally signing a number of youth players.

The Blues have continued to operate normally in the transfer market since the beginning of an investigation into their transfer activity, but now could be the time to take advantage of any bet365 betting with the current uncertainty surrounding the club's future plans to improve their squad.

Chelsea broke transfer rules when they secured the signing of Bertrand Traore in 2014, and and it has been claimed that the acquisition of the young forward was not the only time when they breached transfer regulations.

According to Mediapart, it has been discovered that the Premier League side have illegally signed as many as 14 youth prospects, and FIFA is now calling for the West London outfit to be punished.

FIFA's Integrity and Compliance unit want Chelsea to be prevented from signing any new players for a total of four transfer windows.

Traore went on to make 10 Premier League appearances for Chelsea before being sold to Lyon in June 2017.
