ZURICH
</span> â€" Chelsea was banned from signing any new players for a year because it encouraged a teenager to break his contract with a French team and sign with the English soccer power.</p><p>The sport's governing body Thursday barred Chelsea from taking part in the next two transfer windows â€" January 2010 and the next offseason. The next time the Premier League team would be able to sign a new player â€" nationally or internationally â€" would be January 2011.</p><p>The French club Lens had complained that Chelsea lured 18-year-old striker Gael Kakuta to break his contract and join the English team in 2008. FIFA said it "established that the English club induced the player to such breach."</p><p>The ruling body ordered Kakuta and Chelsea to pay Lens $1.12 million. Chelsea must pay Lens an additional $186,000 as a training fee. In addition, the French player is barred from any games worldwide for four months.</p><p>FIFA has been trying to impress on clubs and players that contracts must be respected. Chelsea can appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.</p>
