Premier League leaders Arsenal have announced that they have secured a new sponsorship deal with Chinese multinational telecommunications company Huawei.

The Gunners unveiled the new deal with first-team stars Aaron Ramsey, Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil, and manager Arsene Wenger at their training base in Colney.

Chief commercial officer Tom Fox told the club's official website: "We are delighted to welcome Huawei to Arsenal as an official partner. This is the first global deal we have signed with a Chinese brand, demonstrating our long-term commitment to the market through pre-season tours and sustained digital fan engagement."

Yesterday, Liverpool announced that they have struck a global commercial deal with American brand Dunkin' Donuts.
