Can chelsea sign new players

As of the 2022-23 season, Chelsea FC is subject to a transfer ban imposed by FIFA, which prohibits the club from registering new players until June 30, 2023. This ban was imposed due to Chelsea's breach of FIFA's regulations regarding the transfer of youth players.

However, Chelsea has appealed the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and the club is currently waiting for the outcome of the appeal. If the ban is upheld, Chelsea will not be able to sign new players until the ban is lifted.

If the ban is lifted, Chelsea will be able to sign new players, but they will still need to comply with FIFA's regulations regarding the transfer of youth players. The club will also need to ensure that they are in compliance with the Premier League's rules and regulations regarding player registrations.

It's worth noting that Chelsea has already signed a few players during the 2022-23 transfer window, including Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, but these signings were made before the transfer ban was imposed.
