Chelsea will unveil their new kit on Monday – without a front-of-shirt sponsor.
The west London club will launch their 2023-24 range and it will not feature a main partner after bosses rejected an offer from gambling company Stake.
As Mail Sport revealed, Chelsea had expected to sign a deal with Paramount+, only to see it vetoed by the Premier League. That decision left bosses at Stamford Bridge in a difficult position with the clock ticking towards the new campaign.
A mooted deal with Stake triggered criticism from fans groups and campaigners ahead of the forthcoming ban on betting firms taking front of shirt sponsorships.
