Chelsea confirmed today that they had agreed a bumper kit deal with sportswear giants Nike, after agreeing to terminate their deal with Adidas earlier in the year.
The news had been expected, after several months of speculation, but the details on the deal remained unclear until today.
As per Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol on Twitter, the deal is worth £60m per year, which is more than double what the club were getting from Adidas previously.
