English Premier League side Chelsea will be able to sign new players in the coming January Transfer Window after their transfer ban imposed by FIFA was reduced following a successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The Blues were hit with a two-year ban in February of this year after they found guilty of breaching player transfer regulations, specifically regarding bringing in U18s and ‘third-party influence’.
