Yoso amponza Abramovich

Gael Kakuta

SHIRIKISHO la soka duniani, FIFA, limeizuia klabu ya bilionea Roman Abramovich isisajili mchezaji yeyote hadi mwaka 2011.

Uamuzi wa FIFA ni adhabu kwa Chelsea baada ya kubainika kuwa imevunja sheria wakati wa kumsajili kinda, Gael Kakuta, kutoka klabu ya Lens ya Ufaransa.

Uamuzi huo bila shaka ni pigo kwa The Blues na huenda itabidi 'iwakamate' waliopo 'wasitimkie' timu nyingine.

CHELSEA have been stunned after they were banned from signing any players until 2011.

FIFA have found the Blues guilty of inducing teenager Gael Kakuta to breach his contract with Lens in 2007.

Midfielder Kakuta has also been ordered to pay £682,000 to the French club and banned from playing for FOUR months.

The 18-year-old joined Chelsea two years ago after which Lens lodged a complaint with FIFA.

Now FIFA's dispute resolution chamber (DRC) has ruled that Kakuta breached his contract with Lens and that the Blues encouraged him to do so.

In a statement, FIFA said: "The French club had lodged a claim with FIFA seeking compensation for breach of contract from the player and requesting also sporting sanctions to be imposed on the player and the English club for breach of contract and inducement to breach of contract respectively.

"The DRC found that the player had indeed breached a contract signed with the French club. Equally, the DRC deemed it to be established that the English club induced the player to such breach.

"As a result the player was condemned to pay compensation in the amount of £680,000, for which the club, Chelsea, is jointly and severally liable, and sporting sanctions were imposed on both the player and Chelsea in accordance with art. 17 par. three and four of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.

"A restriction of four months on his eligibility to play in official matches is imposed on the player Gael Kakuta while the club Chelsea is banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the two next entire and consecutive registration periods following the notification of the present decision.

"Furthermore, Chelsea, has to pay RC Lens training compensation in the amount of £113,000."
Chelsea have the right to appeal against the decision and take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

Given the severity of the punishment, it is almost certain the club will take that course of action.
Kakuta, a skilful left-winger, is viewed as Chelsea's most promising young player.

He ended his first season as top scorer in the youth side and was voted the academy's player of the year.

His second season was brought to an abrupt end in February by a double fracture of his ankle.
