The lack of Arsenal’s transfer activity has always been attributed to the debt they have because of the stadium shift, and this reason was dragged all the way down to 8 years to cover up their failure for silverware.
But brilliant news hit the internet today as it was reported that Arsenal have made Bodog as their official Asian partner for betting for the next three years. This multi million deal will assist Arsenal tremendously in terms of finance and will help clearing their debt with inclusion of hefty transfer sums.
Arsenal have just completed a pre-season tour of Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan and the new deal will allow Bodog to make use of the club’s database to offer Asian fans betting opportunities around Arsenal games. The deal also entitles Bodog to develop marketing initiatives and consumer promotions using the club’s players.
Vinai Venkatesham, chief of global partnerships for The Gunners was quoted: “Our tours give our fans beyond the UK a great opportunity to see the team in action, and this Asian tour was no different with our first-team squad playing in front of hundreds of thousands of passionate supporters.
“As our fanbase in Asia continues to grow rapidly, working in partnership with companies like Bodog who have long-term roots in the region, provides a strong platform to further engage with Arsenal fans in Asia.”
