Facebook has denied speculation it is close to signing a bumper deal to become the new sponsor of the England Football team.
The social networking website was reportedly one of four companies in advanced talks with the Football Association about replacing Nationwide in a deal that was said to be worth up to £40m.
Telecoms giants O2 and Orange, as well as banking group Santander, were named as the other brands talking to the FA, but Facebook has played down the speculation, labelling it “bizarre”.
In a statement released to the Press Association, it said: "Facebook is not in talks with the England football team regarding sponsorship."
A spokesman added: "I don't know where it has come from but it is not true. It's bizarre. We obviously work with lots of different brands and the FA have used the Facebook platform and the England team have a page.
"We've obviously been talking to them about those sorts of things, just like any other brand."
