Arsenal have give their fans something to shout about, as they are on the verge of signing the third biggest kit sponsorship deal in football.
Football.London report the £300million deal with sports giants Adidas will be behind only to the brands agreement with Manchester United, and Nike’s deal with Barcelona.
The clubs current deal with Puma expires at the end of the season, with fellow German company adidas set to swoop in as their replacement.
