Manchester City confirm Nike deal by unveiling new kit

Manchester City have confirmed that they have signed a big-money deal with Nike by unveiling their new strip in New York City.

Reports had recently suggested that the former Premier League champions were poised to secure a £72m deal with the global sports brand, and the club have since announced the six-year partnership.

Chief commercial and operating officer Tom Glick told the club's official website: "We are delighted to join forces with Nike. Having them as our new technical kit partner demonstrates City's growing global appeal, and we look forward to working alongside Nike to build and engage our fan base around the world."

City will debut the new kit when they take on Chelsea in back-to-back matches in St Louis and New York.
