Chelsea transfer news LIVE: Allegri, Neres, Hazard and Giroud latest

Chelsea transfer news - LIVE!

Chelsea head into the summer transfer window under the cloud of a Fifa transfer ban, but with the added bonus of having already secured Champions League football for next season.

While the Premier League season may have ended on a high note on the pitch for the Blues as they finished third and also set up a Europa League Final against Arsenal, the club is set to face a transfer embargo as things stand.

Chelsea's appeal against a two-winder transfer ban was rejected by Fifa last week, and the west London club are now ow taking their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport - and CAS could postpone the punishment while the process is carried out.

Regardless of whether Chelsea can sign players, Eden Hazard looks increasingly likely to leave for Real Madrid - if the Spanish giants match Chelsea's asking price of over £100million, that is.

Meanwhile, ​Maurizio Sarri's pre-match worries became a reality during Chelsea's 3-0 friendly win over New England Revolution after Ruben Loftus-Cheek limped off with a suspected Achilles injuryearly on Thursday morning, and could face months out.
