UK GOVERNMENT SANCTIONS CHELSEA BOSS

Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich has finally been sanctioned by the United Kingdom government.

The Russian billionaire had his assets frozen and has been prohibited from making transactions with UK individuals and businesses, with a travel ban and transport sanctions also imposed on him.

However, Chelsea can still operate as a Premier League side under a special licence, but any potential sale is now on hold.

Meanwhile, no player transfers or new contracts can be negotiated.
