Frank Lampard's side are fourth in the Premier LeagueChelsea can sign players in January after having their Fifa transfer ban reduced following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Premier League side were given a two-window ban by Fifa in February for breaching rules on signing young players. Chelsea were given a transfer ban after 150 rule breaches involving 69 academy players over several seasons, according to the judgement published by Fifa. Chelsea lodged an appeal to Cas against the Fifa punishment, which was also prompted by an investigation into the Premier League club's signing of foreign under-18 players. The question is, after doing far better than most outsiders expected, and with his side looking good for a top-four spot, will Lampard will risk disrupting the squad dynamic by signing players next month?
