Arsenal land £300m deal with Adidas to step up into world kit top three

Arsenal have announced a new long-term kit deal with Adidas, said to be worth £300m over five years.

The long-rumoured deal will see the Premier League club kitted out by the German sportswear giant from July 2019 and bring in £60m annually, making it the third most lucrative arrangement in world soccer. Only Manchester United’s £75m-a-year deal with Adidas and Barcelona’s staggering £140m-a-year Nike partnership bring in more. The announcement officially ends the Gunners’ deal with Adidas’ German rivals Puma, offering a significant upgrade on the £150m contract signed in 2014. In terms of Premier League commercial supremacy, it puts Arsenal on a par with Chelsea. The West London club pull in £60m-a-year from their Nike deal, albeit on a longer term contract which tops out at £900m until its expiry in 2032. Manchester City are reportedly set to sign a £50m-a-year deal with Puma, although that has not been officially confirmed. Tottenham’s tie-up with Nike is worth £30m per season.
Arsenal’s last kit supply deal with Adidas ran from the 1986-87 season until the conclusion of the 1993-94 campaign, with several of those designs becoming cult classics and re-released as unbranded collectibles by the club.

In his words; DIABETES Is CURABLE! Don't Let It Threaten You! To NORMALIZE Your Blood Sugar In 15Days For Life,Click Here!!! I know Buhari very well. It was in my hometown, Gboko that Buhari and Ojukwu met for the first time after the war. I arranged for Buhari and Ojukwu to meet in Gboko. So I could feel Buhari’s pain. You feel pain when young men that were not even born when we went and suffered so much and inflicted so much suffering on our people are using such verbiage and such type of rhetoric. They cannot even talk in such a sophisticated and philosophical manner like Ojukwu. They cannot match Ojukwu in any way. Remember all the troubles
