Chelsea chief Peter Kenyon admits they've ruled out any African player signings this summer.
"We will not sign any more African players for this season," Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon told The Tide.
"The four players who will be at the Nations Cup are not squad players but they are key first-team players.
"Their absence will be a blow to the club, that's why we are on the market to get players as back up during the tournament."
