Chelsea agree new shirt sponsorship deal with mobile phone network Three, and troll fans.

Chelsea FC have signed a shirt sponsorship deal with mobile phone network Three ahead of the start of the 2020-21 season.  Three is said to replace current shirt sponsors Yokohama from the start of next season after Chelsea ended their five-year partnership with the Japanese Tyre company.

The British telecommunications and Broadband company will replace Yokohama on the front of Chelsea’s shirts from the summer. The football club announced the deal with a joke on social media.

Chelsea tweeted: ‘You wait 24 days for a signing and then Three come along at once! #Ch3lsea.’
