Manchester City have reportedly signed a new kit deal with global sports brand Nike worth £72m.

The former Premier League champions, who were said to be struggling to replace sponsors Etihad Airways, are expected to announce the deal during their post-season tour of the United States.

Nike have agreed a six-year contract with the North West outfit, paying the club £12m a year, and will debut the kit in a friendly against Chelsea this week, according to The Telegraph.

Nike are believed to have re-negotiated with City following their 2009 10-year deal with Umbro, who are now owned by Nike.
