Chelsea’s fate unknown as EPL announces date for summer signing

The English Premier League, in a latest report, has announced the date for this year’s summer signing.

This comes after a meeting of stakeholders from all 20 top-flight clubs in the English domestic league today.

The window will open on June 10 and close on September 1 in line with other European leagues.

“It was also confirmed that the Summer 2022 Transfer Window will open on 10 June and will close at 23:00 BST on 1 September in line with other European leagues,” a Premier League statement read in part.

The league also announced a change to Covid-19 testing, with only symptomatic individuals to be tested from Monday.

It is yet to be known how Chelsea will transact in the current transfer window.

This is because the Blues are still under sanctions which were imposed on them by the UK government because of their link with Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

As of now, Chelsea can buy or sell any player except new owners take over at the club, and this is expected to happen before the summer window commences.
