Arsenal will look to close the gap between themselves and the likes of Manchester United by introducing their first-ever shirt sleeve sponsor next season.
The Telegraph reports that the Gunners will look to take advantage of the extra income, something several Premier League sides have already done this season.
Both Arsenal’s Puma deal and their Emirates shirt deal expire at the end of the 2018-2019 season but the Gunners that they can still increase their financial muscle.
Arsenal need to expand their income after big contracts were handed to the likes of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Sleeve sponsorship is something which is becoming more and more common in the Premier League. Chelsea are said to be earning around £8 million from their sleeve sponsor.
Arsenal want to be in a position where they can make a separate deal with a sleeve sponsor when the shirt deal with Emirates comes to an end.
Arsenal currently earn around £30 million each year through their agreement with Puma but it remains to be seen whether they can improve upon this.
