Chelsea get massive boost ahead of Arsenal clash
Chelsea have been given the final ruling by CAS in their bid to get the transfer ban imposed by FIFA lifted, and will be given a boost with the news that the adjudicating body has found them innocent of any wrongdoing in the Gael Kakuta saga.
It appears that Lens helped out the West London side by providing the original contract between themselves and Kakuta, and Chelsea have come to a friendly agreement with the French club.
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said: “We are pleased to have come to an amicable resolution of the matter and that it has been ratified by CAS and recognised by FIFA.
“It was always our intention to work together with Lens to reach this end.
“Both clubs have strengthened their relationship as a result of resolving this case to everyone’s satisfaction.
“In an act of good faith and with a view to the possibility of future collaboration with Lens, and without recognising any liability, Chelsea has agreed to pay compensation costs for the training given to the player while at Lens, as mandated by FIFA in its original ruling.”
This means that Chelsea will now be free to reinforce the squad in the summer, and has vindicated their stance that they did nothing wrong in the first place.
