Chelsea are expecting to be hit with a substantial financial sanction for transfer misdemeanours, after the Football Association charged them on Thursday with 74 breaches of its rules relating to the use of football agents.
The club now face a lengthy charge sheet after an investigation into transfer activity under the ownership of Roman Abramovich. They are accused, among other claims, of making undisclosed payments to secure transfers. Deals under the spotlight include those for Eden Hazard, Willian and Samuel Eto’o.
