Manchester City announce Premier League's first sleeve sponsor deal

Manchester City have become the first Premier League team to announce a shirt sleeve sponsor for next season.

A new rule comes into force next season allowing clubs to have a secondary sponsor on the sleeves of their shirts and at Pep Guardiola's weekly news conference, City announced a deal with South Korean tire manufacturer Nexen Tire.

Guardiola was joined by injured duo Ilkay Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus, who modelled shirts with the logo on them, as well as England international Jill Scott from City's women's team.

City are expected to be the first of many Premier League clubs to announce a shirt sleeve sponsor.
