German company will replace Puma from next summer

Arsenal have confirmed that they have signed a new kit deal with Adidas – to start from the beginning of the 2019-20 season – with the German company paying the Premier League club in the region of £300m over five years.

Adidas will take over from Puma, whose own five-year contract with the north London club expires at the end of the season. Puma are reported to become Manchester City’s new kit supplier from next season, in a deal worth £50m per year.

An annual £60m deal would put Arsenal third in the most lucrative kit deals in football, behind Barcelona’s contract with Nike and Manchester United’s contract with Adidas which are worth £140m-a-year and £75m-a-year respectively.

Arsenal last wore an Adidas strip between 1986 and 1994 during which they lifted two league titles. Nike then sponsored the club for two decades until 2014-15, when they lost out to the current Puma deal.
