Chelsea set to unveil new 2023-24 kit without sponsor as Blues scramble to replace £40m-a-year Three contract | The Sun

CHELSEA are reportedly set to unveil their kit for the new season… WITHOUT a shirt sponsor.

The Blues looked set to sign a deal with Paramount+, but it was blocked by the Premier League.

They have rejected an offer from gambling company Stake following criticism from fans groups and campaigners.

German financial services outfit Allianz have also been considered but no deal has been done.

Talks with other potential companies are ongoing, but The Mail understand they are now set to bring out their new Nike kit without a sponsor.
