this was the guy that gave Chelsea transfer ban
Basically we werent allowed to sign him but there was a loophole where the club made him a student at a private school and as a UK resident he overcame the rule that says you cant recruit players at that age (15). He did participate in friendlies for the club but not in official matches and officially signed for Chelsea at 18. The investigations traced back to this and the ban was imposed. Barca, Madrid, Atletico and even Liverpool were found guilty of this too though only Liverpool got away with it and instead got banned from purchasing domestically only meaning they could purchase abroad.
