London - Chelsea on Thursday revealed The Yokohama Rubber Company Ltd will be their shirt sponsor from next season in a five-year deal which is reported to be the second largest in Premier League history.
The west London club, who agreed a 10-year kit deal with Adidas worth in the region of $462 million in June 2013, said the size of the deal with tyre manufacturer Yokohama Rubber was commercially sensitive.
But it has been reported the five-year contract is worth £40 million per season, which in the Premier League is second only to Manchester United's shirt sponsorship deal with United States car manufacturer Chevrolet, worth a reported £47 million per season.
