The Premier League has agreed a new £120million three-year deal with title sponsors Barclays. The extended agreement will run for three seasons from 2013/14 to the end of the 2015/16 season.
The deal includes title sponsorship and exclusive worldwide marketing rights, plus advertising rights.
Britain’s third largest bank has held naming rights to the world’s richest football league since 2001.
The new Premier League deal comes a month after it sold domestic broadcast rights for the 2013-16 seasons for £3.018 billion, an increase of 70 per cent over the preceding three seasons.
Under Armour and Tottenham Hotspur unveiled on Thursday the club’s new home and away kits for the coming 2012/2013 season.
Tottenham will wear all white home jerseys for the 2012-2013 season set to start in August. The team wore a white shirt, blue shorts combo last year.
Spurs have, like Liverpool, taken up a new kit supplier after six years with Puma, also opting for an American sports clothing and accessories company.
Tottenham have finally completed the permanent transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor £6 million.
Adebayor, 28-year-old, a former Arsenal striker, has scored 18 goals in 37 games for Spurs since he moved to White Hart Lane on loan, helping the club to finish in the top four of the Premier League.
Chelsea captain John Terry has been cleared of racially abusing QPR player Anton Ferdinand.
The Chelsea and England defender had denied making the comments to the Queens Park Rangers player during a match at Loftus Road last October.
The case led to Terry being stripped of the England captaincy by the English Football Association ahead of the European Championship and the departure of coach Fabio Capello who disagreed with the decision.
Terry was charged after he was seen mouthing the words ‘f****** black c***’ in Ferdinand’s direction during Chelsea’s defeat against QPR at Loftus Road on October 23 last year.
