Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has had sanctions placed upon his ownership of the club by the UK government, which could ultimately impact Arsenal's pursuit of Armando Broja.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss placed the billionaire on the sanctions list, meaning the Blues will have to operate with restrictions under a special sporting license that will expire at the end of May.
The club's players and staff will still receive their salaries but there can be no owner investment, no prize money earned and fans will not be permitted to attend any away games.
