    TikTok become shirt sponsors for Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham after Euros advertising drive

    TIKTOK will sponsor the shirts of Wrexham, the club’s Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have announced. The actors took over the National League side in February.

    They even invested money into the Welsh side one month before the deal was finalised so the club could spend in the January transfer window.
    Now, the celebrity duo have secured a two-year kit sponsorship with social media app TikTok.
    McElhenney, creator of sitcom ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’, said: “We are announcing our new front of kit sponsor.”
    Deadpool actor Reynolds added: “I wonder who it could be.”
    Hairclub, WWE, Laughing Man Coffee Company, Blockbuster, Panam, Philadelphia cheese, Enron, Franken Berry, Mint Mobile, Theranos and De Lorean Motor Company all flash up on screen.
    But the video ends with the TikTok logo along with McElhenney and Reynolds’ usernames.
    The app, where short videos are created, have been sponsoring the delayed European Championships.
    But their next move will be all the way down in the fifth tier of the English football

    Nick Tran, Global Head of Marketing at TikTok, said: “TikTok is uniquely positioned at the centre of entertainment, technology and the creator community to help bring Wrexham AFC’s story to life to global audiences.
    “With the growth of football clubs, players and trends on TikTok, joining Rob and Ryan in returning Wrexham AFC to the English Football League was a natural choice for us.
    “We are proud to play a small part in championing the return of Wrexham AFC to the top-flight of football and sharing the journey with the town of Wrexham, our community, and fans everywhere, in ways only TikTok can.”

    Paulo Dybala and girlfriend Oriana Sabatini have controversial crotch lift video DELETED by TikTok

    ARSENAL target Paulo Dybala and his girlfriend Oriana Sabatini have been censored by TikTok after attempting the viral one-arm lift challenge.The Juventus frontman made a hash of his bid to lift Oriana up in the air under her thigh as the couple’s two pet dogs Kaia and Bowen looked on.
    Paulo Dybala made a mess of the controversial challenge
    The model was nearly sent crashing into kitchen furniture by her boyfriend, touted as a potential replacement for on-loan Real Madrid player Martin Odegaard at Arsenal, in the pair’s attempts to emulate the online craze.
    Oriana posted the footage of their botched lift on Instagram after complaining it had been removed by Tiktok censors for being unsuitable.
    The footage showed the pretty brunette, also a singer and actress, grabbing at her crotch and yelling as she was flung forward in Paulo’s awkward attempt to elevate her using only his right forearm before they had another go which wasn’t filmed.
    Oriana, who last March had to self-isolate with her footballer boyfriend after contracting coronavirus, posted the original TikTok video she later uploaded on Instagram with the message: “TikTok at it again. They erased this so it’s gone to Instagram.”
    One of her 32,000 fans offered his advice about what the pair were doing wrong, saying: “The problem is that Paulo’s arm is in the wrong place.
    “He’s trying to lift Oriana up with his wrist and needs to put his forearm further forward.”
    Juventus are reportedly ready to consider bids for the Argentine international, who has only made 16 appearances for Juventus in all competitions this season.

    Arsenal are said to be planning a move for the 27-year-old if manager Mikel Arteta is unable to keep Odegaard at the North London club.
    Chelsea and Tottenham are also understood to be interested in luring Dybala away from his current club.
    He will enter the final year of his contract in Turin this summer.
