#1 Possible upcoming transfer ban
A lot of media reports have suggested that Chelsea could possibly be hit with a transfer ban. A FIFA investigation is reportedly taking place with regards to Chelsea signing young players. A ban similar to the one Atletico Madrid or Barcelona received is possible. The ban could be in place for the summer transfer window.
If these reports are true, this transfer window naturally becomes extremely important for Chelsea. Any Chelsea fan will tell you that the current squad is in desperate need for reinforcements. If the club expects a ban, they need to resolve the issues in January and not wait for the summer
The need to act now becomes even more necessary with the future of Eden Hazard looking uncertain. The Belgian's importance to Chelsea cannot be stated enough. In the current squad, he is the standout player by a distance. However, the longer he does not sign the new contract, the more the possibility of him leaving increases.
