Chelsea announce new £60m-a-year kit deal from next season with Nike after ending adidas partnership

Chelsea have signed a kit sponsorship contract with Nike worth £60million-per-year, the second biggest deal in the Premier League and biggest in the club's history.

The Blues had announced they were parting company with adidas at the end of the season in May, after the pair decided to terminate their current deal six years early.

Adidas' shirt deal was worth £30million annually - a figure that has been doubled by their American sportswear rivals, despite the fact Chelsea are not competing in Europe this season.
