Premier League football clubs have struck fresh deals with gambling firms to sponsor the front of their shirts, as the number of teams with gambling sponsors remains at more than half despite clubs agreeing to a voluntary ban from next season.

It has led to the upcoming ban, which takes place at the end of the upcoming 25/26 season, being branded a “cynical ploy”.

A total of 11 clubs will go into the start of the season with gambling sponsors on the front for the 25/26 season, the same number as the previous season .
