Upbeat Ancelotti confident over Blues’ transfer ban appeal

CARLO ANCELOTTI is confident Chelsea’s appeal against Fifa’s transfer ban will be successful.

Chelsea have been banned from signing any new players during the next two transfer windows, after Fifa found them guilty of inducing teenager Gael Kakuta to breach his contract with Lens two years ago.

The Blues have appealed through the Court of Arbitration for Sport in an attempt to get the decision overturned and Ancelotti is hopeful of a positive outcome.
