The Blues are hopeful that they can get the ban overturned during the appeal which is scheduled to be heard by the Court of Arbitration on Sport on November 20.
Frank Lampard will be allowed to build on Chelsea’s brilliant start to the new season with a £150m transfer war chest if the club’s transfer ban is lifted, reports The Telegraph.
The Blues were handed a two-window transfer ban earlier this year after they were found to be in breach of regulations relating to the signings and registration of underage players.
Chelsea weren’t happy at the sentence and immediately contested the decision by filing an appeal in the Court of Arbitration on Sport, which set November 20 as the hearing date.
And now it has emerged that provided Chelsea are successful in having the original verdict overturned, they’ll give manager Frank Lampard £150m to spend in the January transfer window.
