Arsenal strike bumper Adidas deal to become new kit manufacturers

Arsenal have agreed a deal with Adidas to become their kit manufacturers from next season, and Goal understands talks are already under way over prospective new designs.

The Gunners, who famously won the First Division title against Liverpool at Anfield wearing their yellow Adidas kits in 1989, will now return to the German sportswear giants for the first time since 1994.

Arsenal’s existing deal with Puma is worth £30 million ($38.7m) a season but is set to come to an end next summer.

The new Adidas agreement will begin at the same time as the new deal with current shirt sponsors Emirates - whose £200m ($258m), five-year deal will increase the club's spending power from next season by around £20m ($25.
