Chelsea clear to visit transfer window

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has suspended Chelsea\'s transfer ban until it can reach a final decision on the club\'s appeal.



The court\'s decision today almost certainly frees Chelsea to buy and sell players when the international transfer market reopens in January.



FIFA had banned the Premier League club from signing players for the next two transfer windows, for breaking rules in acquiring French teenager, Gael Kakuta from Lens in 2007.



Chelsea appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, against the FIFA ruling that cut the London club out of the market until January 2011.



The Court of Arbitration for Sport did not say when it expected to reach a final decision. It could take several weeks to arrange an appeal hearing and several more for the panel of arbitrators to reach a verdict.
