Chelsea dumps Yokohama, signs new shirt sponsorship deal with Tele Comm brand

Chelsea have signed a shirt sponsorship deal with mobile phone network Three ahead of the start of the 2020-21 season.

Three will 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. 

Chelsea announced the deal with a joke on social media. The club tweeted: 'You wait 24 days for a signing and then Three come along at once! #Ch3lsea.'
