After the opening weekend defeat to Manchester City, Chelsea have been in amazing form.

Chelsea started the season without a front-shirt sponsor, as the Chelsea jersey have been bare since the start of the campaign.

It now appears that multiple sponsors are running after Chelsea for a sponsorship deal.

According to reporter Lukasz Baczek, Chelsea are currently in talks with airline giants Qatar Airways to become their next front-shirt sponsor.

Last week, the company secured a six-year Champions League sponsorship deal worth around £70 million-a-year but they are open to another deal.

Also, Chelsea are in talks with other major airlines, including Riyadh Air and Turkish Airlines.

Turkish Airlines will be aiming to win the sponsorship this time, as they had previously wanted to sponsor Chelsea for £25 million-per-year in 2015 but lost to Yokohama.
