Sky Sports football commentator Martin Tyler will leave the broadcaster before the new season starts, according to a Telegraph report.
It is believed Tyler, 77, is not retiring but will step down from his Sky work after 33 years with the company.
In a statement released to Telegraph Sport, Tyler said: “In my humble opinion, the huge corporation Sky is today has stemmed from Sky Sports’ innovative and inspired coverage of the Premier League.
"It has been a privilege to play a small part in the broadcasting history of the greatest league in the world. Along the way I have worked alongside legions of wonderful professionals in all aspects of the television industry.

"I thank them all for their support and expertise. It has been an honour to be a member of a very gifted team.”
Gary Hughes, Sky Sports’ director of football, said: “Everyone at Sky Sports would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Martin for his unparalleled contribution and dedication to our coverage over the last 30 years.
"‘The Voice’ will always be synonymous with the Premier League and Sky Sports. When you think of commentary, you think of Martin Tyler. ‘Collymore closing in’ [from Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Newcastle in 1996] and ‘Aguerrrrrroooooooooo’ are two of the greatest moments in Premier League history.
"We thank him and wish him all the very best for the future.”
The Telegraph report says Tyler will leave "on good terms ahead of the 2023-2024 season". Tyler was unable to commentate during the final weeks of last term due to illness - which meant Sky Sports did not get the opportunity to celebrate his long service and vast contribution to their coverage on-air.
Tyler began his journalism career working for the Times and later moved into the world of broadcasting. He had many years in the ITV setup before switching to Sky in 1990, becoming a key figure in their coverage of the Premier League.
