Chelsea have been put under pressure by Three to remove the telecommunications company's logo from their club shirts.

The Blues are now operating under a special license - severely limiting their revenue streams - and shirt sponsors Three have suspended their partnership, worth £40million per annum. However, the logos have yet to be removed from the club's shirts.

The West London club are desperate to secure a new owner amid a budget crisis, with their funds dictated by the British government in the wake of the sanctions imposed on Blues owner Roman Abramovich. The billionaire has had his assets frozen in the UK in the wake of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, although he continues to deny any links to president Vladimir Putin. The EU have subsequently imposed further sanctions on the oligarch.

On Saturday, the Premier League confirmed they had suspended Abramovich as director of the club. Barclays have also suspended the club's bank account and there's a possibility the Blues could face financial armageddon between now and the summer due to the precarious situation.

Yet despite the suspension of Three's contract with Chelsea, their logo is still emblazoned on the club's shirts and training kits. The telecommunications company has now released a statement confirming that they want this issue to be rectified.
