CHRISTENSEN DEAL PUTS BLUES IN THE DOCK

CHELSEA are under further transfer scrutiny over their signing of Danish defender Andreas Christensen.

The Blues are the latest Premier League club to have the finger pointed at them in documents published by Danish newspaper Politiken as part of the Football Leaks revelations. Details suggest Chelsea entered into a secret agreement to land Christensen (right), when he was just 15. It comes with FIFA already looking into 14 transfers of minors by the Stamford Bridge club.

Premier League rules state: “No club may lure or attempt to entice a player to sign a contract by offering him or any person directly or indirectly a benefit or payment.”

A Premier League spokesman said: “Should we receive any substantive material that indicates that our rules may have been violated, we will of course investigate it – and we have a history of doing that.”

Chelsea said: “We do not comment on speculation concerning confidential contracts or player-related matters.”

Football Leaks website has already claimed that the Blues are in danger of having a transfer ban imposed because of the signing of Bertrand Traore as a teenager from French side Auxerre. The Burkina Faso attacker was subsequently sold to Lyon last year for £8.8million .
