Arsenal’s new Puma kit ‘leaked on Twitter’ by sprint king Linford Christie

Pictures of Arsenal’s new Puma-designed kit for the 2014/15 season appear to have been leaked online by sprint king Linford Christie.

The Gunners have agreed a giant sponsorship deal with Puma for the next five years, with their current agreement with Nike expiring at the end of the season.

A few suggestions of what Arsenal’s new shirt might look like have already been doing the rounds, with Puma said to be drawing up ideas.

But 1992 Olympic 100metres champion Christie, who is also sponsored by Puma, appeared to show off the real deal after posting a photo of himself with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and current Gunners duo Olivier Giroud and Bacary Sagna on his Twitter feed.

In the snap Henry is wearing what looks like a classic Arsenal home shirt, complete with Puma logo, while Giroud is modelling a Puma and Arsenal training top.

Sagna appears in an Arsenal hoodie, although with no branding.

The image was quickly deleted from Christie’s page.
