Nike Makes ~£50m Offer to Become Arsenal's Kit Maker
The offer Nike made to become Arsenal's kit maker would be worth a similar amount as Adidas' offer to the club - a bit more than £50m / season. Darren revealed that the club would make a decision before the end of April.
The Nike offer I am told is in the same ball park as the Adidas offer. With Puma having matching rights, expect figures north of £50m PA
