The Premier League are scrutinising Chelsea’s signings of Willian and Samuel Eto’o as part of a wider investigation into secret transfer-related payments made during the Roman Abramovich era.
An investigation was launched last year after the club’s new owners voluntarily reported financial transactions between 2012 and 2019 to the FA, Premier League and UEFA. The Premier League are reported to be looking into payments of millions of pounds to at least six offshore companies.
