Manchester City will have a new shirt sponsor next season. The Blues have announced that they have sealed a three-year, multi-million pound sponsorship package with First Advice Ltd, a financial services company.

The exact figures of the sponsorship deal have not been revealed, but it is thought it could net Kevin Keegan's side up to £5million. It is the largest main sponsorship contract ever completed by the Blues, and brings to an end a highly successful three-year association with computer games giants Eidos.

The contract, which makes First Advice the Blues' official financial services partner as well as the main sponsor, takes effect from July 1.
