The Blues have already secured a new deal for their sleeve sponsor as they waive goodbye to Hyundai after an initial multi-year deal. The South Korean motor company had signed on until the end of the 2022 season, a contract it saw out in the end. Replacing the well-known car brand on the royal blue sleeves of Chelsea’s kits next season will be WhaleFin. Is the club about to announce a partnership with Nintendo, the legendary Japanese videogame company?No, absolutely not. As we all know, Nintendo's main HQ is based in the Japanese city of Kyoto. The local team – Kyoto Sanga – joined the Japanese football league (J. League, for short) in 1995, and currently sits in the second tier. For a while now, the team has been sponsored by Nintendo, but you'd be forgiven for not realising this fact; for starters, it sponsors the rear of the shirt rather than front, and its name is spelt using Kanji.

It comes after the mobile group decided against extending their three-year agreement with the club.

Chelsea are in talks with a number of companies over a lucrative new front-of-shirt sponsor to replace Three. The move will delight supporters who were angered by the telecommunications giant's reaction to the sanctions imposed on the club last year. The expectation that Stake, an online casino, would become the main sponsor was met with a great deal of criticism with the Premier League coming to a collective agreement that shirt-front gambling sponsors would no longer be utlised from the 2025/26 season. The possibility was also met with a degree of frustration due to work Chelsea's foundation has done to work on gambling harm awareness. Tempus Ex Machina, with whom Chelsea signed a seven-year product partnership in April, acquired Biocore to form Infinite Management, whose partners include Silver Lake. Benfica confirmed on Tuesday night that River Plate will earn 25% of the transfer fee, around 30m euros. You can also experience side-scrolling gameplay with the addition of Wonder Flowers that trigger spectacular game-changing moments: pipes will come alive and you can expect total havoc with the introduction of giant spiky balls.
