Tottenham extend AIA kit deal to 2022 as Spurs seal increase on original £16m-a-year agreement

Tottenham have extended their shirt sponsorship deal with insurance group AIA until the end of the 2021-22 season.

The original agreement with AIA, whose headquarters is in Hong Kong, was worth about £16million annually to Spurs and this new move is thought to have brought an increase on that sum. The new arrangement is expected to last for five more years.

Tottenham are still seeking a naming rights deal for their new stadium, which they hope to occupy in the 2018-19 campaign.

Spurs will play home fixtures at Wembley for at least one campaign before moving into the 61,559-seat ground, a project costing about £800m.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: “The renewed partnership with AIA comes at a significant time in the club’s history, with a new world-class stadium currently under construction. We will look to further support the objectives of both organisations in the Asia-Pacific region.”

Tottenham are determined to strengthen their fanbase and commercial links in Asia. They will play a friendly against Hong Kong club on Friday, at the end of a short tour of the region.

Heung-min Son, Kyle Walker, Kevin Wimmer and Ben Davies were also sent on a promotional trip to Seoul, South Korea, in the build-up to the fixture.
