Chelsea facing threat of transfer ban as FIFA investigate five Premier League clubs over the signing of under-18 foreign players
Chelsea are one of five Premier League clubs being investigated by FIFA over possible violations of rules on signing under-18 foreign players.FIFA’s regulations prevent overseas players under the age of 18 moving to a club in a new country unless their parents have emigrated for non-footballing reasons, or if both the club and player in question are based with 50km of a national border.2Chelsea are alleged to have broken to rules to sign Bertrand Traore, the forward who now plays for Lyon. He officially signed for the Stamford Bridge club on January 1, 2014 – the first day of the first transfer window following his 18th birthday.However, FIFA are believed to have learned that Traore had actually played for Chelsea’s Under-18s when he was still just 16, while the club later admitted to agreeing a deal with the player’s mother for first-refusal on his signature, back in 2011. A Chelsea statement read:The club has fully co-operated with Fifa and has provided comprehensive evidence demonstrating its compliance with the applicable Fifa regulations. We will not comment further on speculation concerning confidential contracts or player related matters.Should they be found guilty of breaking FIFA’s regulations, Chelsea face a transfer ban lasting two years, or four transfer windows.2Chelsea are just one of five Premier League clubs being investigated over alleged illegal practices, though the others remain unnamed by Mediapart, the French website helping distribute documents obtained by Football Leaks.However, FIFA confirmed last year that Manchester City, reigning Premier League champions and current league leaders, were under review for their conduct involving youth players.

Eden Hazard blasted for ‘unprofessional’ Panenka penalty by former Chelsea striker
Eden Hazard has been criticised as ‘unprofessional’ for his successful Panenka penalty during the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes the Belgian’s audacious chip over Ederson, when taking the Blues’ fifth and most crucial penalty, showed he was not taking the game seriously.3Despite a promising performance from Maurizio Sarri’s men, they were beaten by City on penalties in a game overshadowed by Kepa Arrizabalaga’s refusal to be substituted in the dying moments of extra-time.And talkSPORT host Cascarino, writing in his column for The Times, suggests Hazard’s penalty typifies everything wrong at Chelsea under Sarri.“Hazard is by no means captain material but he should be one of the senior players leading by example,” Carscarino said. “Instead he was taking the mickey with his Panenka penalty in the shoot-out against Manchester City. It was bordering on ridiculous.“There should have been someone in the dressing room after that saying, ‘What the f*** are you doing?’“Would he do that in a World Cup final? No chance. He was not taking it seriously and it was completely unprofessional.

Hazard's penalty. Pure pic.twitter.com/zMJtGhCEsH— Soccer AM (@SoccerAM) February 24, 2019

“It summed up what is wrong at Chelsea. Players such as Hazard and Arrizabalaga are pushing boundaries because they know they can get away with it and Maurizio Sarris uncertain future as head coach adds to their complacency.”While there were plenty of positives for Sarri to take from the defeat at Wembley, he remains under immense pressure following a string of dreadful results since the turn of the year.And Cascarino puts the Italian’s woes down to a lack of leadership among the players, highlighting Sarri’s treatment of club captain Gary Cahill.3The 33-year-old has been frozen out at Stamford Bridge this season, with his style not suited to Sarri’s possession based philosophy.“It is no surprise that the club are lacking leadership when their club captain, Gary Cahill, has been discarded by Sarri.“It was the case in my career and something that I think still stands that it really helps for your captain to be born in the same country and have a strong connection to the club.3“Cahill is the only player who really ticks those boxes. He has been there since 2012, won two league titles, a Champions League, a Europa League and an FA Cup but this season he has started six games and played 21 minutes of league football.“Chelsea should have made Cahill a similar figure to Vincent Kompany at Manchester City but instead they have sidelined him.“There is no one whom Sarri can trust to help him.”

Newcastle news: Alan Shearer, Shay Given… who are the Toon’s five greatest ever signings?
Newcastle finally broke their transfer record when they completed a 20million deal to sign Miguel Almiron from MLS side Atlanta United.That fee for the Paraguay playmaker eclipses the 15m they forked out to sign Michael Owen from Real Madrid back in 2005.6Over the years, St James’ Park has witnessed a number of great players wear the famous black and white shirt, but who has been the best?talkSPORT.com has selected five of Newcastle‘s best ever signings.

---

5. Laurent Robert

A true fan favourite, Robert was already a French international when he arrived in 2001 and played for PSG, but it was at Newcastle he really made his mark.His wand of a left-foot was truly a sight to behold, and such was his set piece ability, he established himself as Newcastle’s first-choice free-kick taker, no mean feat with the likes of Shearer and Nolberto Solano in the team.Strikes against Derby, Manchester United and Tottenham are still fondly remembered to this day, as was his understanding down the left with full-back and fellow countryman Olivier Bernard.6

---

4. Hatem Ben Arfa

The mercurial Frenchman initially arrived at Newcastle on loan and soon made an impact with a stunning strike in a 1-0 win over Everton. A broken leg meant he was sidelined for the remainder of that season, but he had done enough to sign permanently.On his day, Ben Arfa was easily one of the best players in the Premier League, capable of the sublime and downright spectacular; think his strike against Aston Villa on his weaker foot or the stunning solo goal against Bolton.Hindsight is a fine thing and many Newcastle fans do wonder how he would have fared alongside the likes of Shearer, Kieran Dyer and co when Newcastle were in their pomp.6

---

3. Gary Speed

Kenny Dalglish struck the deal for Speed, who was the consummate professional. His impact was not only felt on the field, the Welshman was very much a respected member of the dressing room.The former Everton and Leeds midfielder quickly became a fan favourite on Tyneside following his arrival in 1998 and was a mainstay in Sir Bobby Robson’s side, making 285 appearances and scoring 40 times in his seven seasons at the club.6

---

2. Shay Given

Another Dalglish signing, Given was arguably one of the most important.He immediately established himself in the team as number one ahead of Pavel Srnek,Shaka HislopandSteve Harperand was quickly recognised as one of the league’s best keepers.In 462 appearances, Given was one of the first names on the team sheet and was an integral member of the side in the 00’s that challenged for the title and competed in the Champions League.6

---

1. Alan Shearer

Since a knee injury that led to his retirement 13 years ago, Newcastle have never truly replaced the great man.Record goalscorer, captain and at one time, the world-record transfer when he joined for 15m in 1996, Shearer is without doubt a Newcastle legend.A robust, old-fashioned centre forward, Shearer was the ultimate striker and could score all types of goals, blockbuster shots, ferocious volleys, tap-ins, penalties and free-kicks.An unparalleled 206 goals for Newcastle is unlikely to ever be matched and he is also the Premier League’s greatest ever goalscorer. Indeed, Shearer was the complete finisher.6
