wait and see Man U get like 50mil per year once their deal end

So is it a done deal?

Will find out after the season

The Daily Mail says Puma agreeing a £30m-a-year deal over five years to be Arsenal’s new kit sponsors from the start of the 2014-15 season makes it even more likely that Nike, who did not want to renew at that price, are saving up for their next blockbuster Manchester United contract.

The Nike deal could be worth a staggering £1bn to United if the length of contract is similar or more than the current 13–year agreement, which expires in 2015.

Not that it matters,But Puma's wiki page states Puma have signed a deal with Arsenal

I dont know why people give credit Donkey face for this deal. Shouldn't Tom Fox get the credit?

I know Donkey will get a raise though, he is Satan's favorite pet.

(Reuters) - Arsene Wenger's experience as Arsenal manager will give the club an edge next season when English Premier League rivals have new men at the top, a major investor in the club said on Thursday.

Farhad Moshiri also said Arsenal would start to benefit from a 30-million-pound deal with Puma, echoing media reports that the German sportswear company was set to replace Nike as the club's kit supplier.

"Arsene Wenger was the reason we invested and he is very much the reason why we continue to support the club," Moshiri told Reuters in an interview.

Moshiri, who with Uzbek-born business partner Alsiher Usmanov owns almost 30 percent of Arsenal, said Wenger's longevity would be an advantage when champions Manchester United and rivals Manchester City and Chelsea are all under new management.

"He remains the one with deep experience in the top four, and that provides a significant edge for the club," the Iranian-born Moshiri added.

Wenger, who joined Arsenal in 1996, is the longest serving Premier League manager after Manchester United's Alex Ferguson retired in May.

Former Everton manager David Moyes has replaced Ferguson, Chilean Manuel Pellegrini has taken charge of Manchester City and Jose Mourinho has returned for a second spell at Chelsea.

Moshiri said he believed that Arsenal, without a trophy since 2005, could now step up their investment after absorbing the costs of a move to a new stadium.

"They managed to stay in the top four with very strict finances and without some of the biggest players. Now they have the foundation to move on," he said.

"(Chief Executive) Ivan Gazidis has secured a major win in the contract with Puma, for 30 million pounds a year," he added in an interview at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"That is a significant win for Arsenal. That shows Puma's confidence in London and, through London, Arsenal," he added.

Puma and Arsenal have declined to comment on reports of a kit supply deal that would begin in 2014.

Arsenal are majority owned by U.S. sports entrepreneur Stan Kroenke. Usmanov and Moshiri do not have board representation despite their substantial shareholding.

"Mr Usmanov is an avid Arsenal fan, he enjoys watching the games and he has probably the best box at Arsenal," Moshiri said.

"Should they invite us, or consult us, we are there to help."

Moshiri is so much more sensible then Usmanov.... i rather have him on the board

Heard Moshiri is Man United fan!stay away
we already have city fan though

Which brand is Arsenal's sponsor.
I saw the Nike sponsored Arsenal Away football shirt.

Yea we are with Nike for this season. Puma deal will start Next season

It's official: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/puma-and-arsenal-announce-partnership

so skin tight or not?

Puma slim fit style pls

not sure if Genuine

i would have settled for this

No more players grabbing our shirts in the box

I like that one on the mannequin. Looks like the one Titi had on.

Ivan Gazidis on PUMA monies

“This money will be available from the summer for the manager to spend.”

This along with the TV deal and the new Emirates deal will take our revenue for 100m+ next year lol

The deal is triple anything Arsenal ever made with Nike:

What a relief

Haha, the Wenger Zip.

Seriously, though, it's a fantastic deal for Arsenal. The equivalent of a mega-signing each summer. Exciting. Kit will take some getting use-to but I think we'll come around.

The best thing about the deal is that it's only for 5 years, we can re-negotiate a better deal in 4 years. Only Man Utd likely to leapfrog next year. So until 2018, Real Madrid, Man Utd and Arsenal (in that order) will have the best kit deals in the World!

It's safe to say that Puma are investing a lot in us, hats off to Tom Fox, Ivan Gazidis, and everyone else who was involved to make the deal happen.

Wow we really got had by that Nike deal :/

The TV deal alone is worth about 100m for the EPL. If we finish top 4 and add the PUMA deal on top of that our revenue will easily increase 120m+ from next year. We could reach 400m in revenue. That is insane!
