On 22 February 2019, FIFA announced in an official statement that Chelsea has been handed a transfer ban for two windows. This, in simpler terms, means that no signing of players until the ban is lifted. They can sell as much as they want to. The ban has been imposed upon Chelsea because there have been reports of Chelsea breaching the guidelines to sign foreign players under 18 years of age. Although they can appeal against this ban and thus will be looking to get the ban reduced to one transfer window at least just like Real Madrid.
The club is all set to sack Maurizio Sarri in the summer and the new manager will have a young squad at his disposal. Chelsea has as much as 41 players loaned which include the likes of full-time internationals like Kurt Zouma and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Their newest signing Christian Pulisic finds himself in this list too. He remains at Borussia Dortmund for the rest of the season. A lot has been written about the stubbornness of Sarri and how he puts the same eleven week-in-week-out. But with no player set to join them in the upcoming months, some of the youngers could be coming to the forefront for the club.
Here is the list of top 5 players who could flourish at Chelsea due to their transfer ban:
