Arsenal have also announced that the real estate development company has become a principal Partner of Arsenal and the official training kit sleeve partner for the club’s men’s and women’s teams.

This is a smart deal for Arsenal to make as training facilities are very important for modern Premier League clubs.
The new agreement will also see the Gunners receive more income and that can be put towards transfers and wages. Their Premier League title rivals Man City and Liverpool have sold the naming rights of their training grounds to bring in more money and it was a logical step for Arsenal to make.
