BT Sport extends Arsenal partnership

Arsenal have announced that they have extended their partnership with sports network BT Sport.

The new two-year deal will see the Gunners promote BT Sport's coverage through their digital platforms, while the broadcaster will receive access to Arsenal's first team and manager Arsene Wenger.

The club's sales and marketing director Vinai Venkatesham said: "We are delighted to extend our relationship with BT Sport as an official partner for a further two years.

"We will continue to work in close collaboration with the team at BT Sport to deliver benefits for fans and exclusive content which will add an extra dimension to their coverage."

Arsenal fans were unhappy when BT Sport recently released an advert for the upcoming Premier League season featuring their 5-1 defeat to Liverpool.
