Chelsea are ready to announce
a bumper new sponsorship deal with Samsung.
The London Evening Standard says the club signed a
five-year deal worth £11million a season in 2005 and it is believed
negotiations over an extension have been taking place since the
start of the year.
Chelsea are under pressure to negotiate a good deal following
Manchester United's announcement of a contract with AON
Corporation. They agreed a four-year deal worth £80m last month
although it will only start at the beginning of the 2010-2011
season.
