Arsenal agree £170m kit deal with Puma.. the biggest in English football
Arsenal have agreed the biggest kit deal in English football with sports giants Puma.
They have struck an agreement worth in excess of £30m-a-year which could see the five year contract worth £170m in total.
The deal worth more than Liverpool’s new £25m-a-year contract with Warrior and brings to an end Arsenal’s 20-year tie-up with Nike.
The deal, which will not be announced officially for some time, will give Arsenal major additional financial clout on top of the £150m five year shirt sponsorship deal with Emirates.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has already been promised £70m to spend on transfer targets this summer as the club looks to rebuild and strengthen the squad.
Fiorentina’s striker Stevan Jovetic tops the list of targets but his price could go above £20m and that would be new territory for Arsenal.
