It has been revealed this morning that Arsenal, as well as the other nineteen Premiership clubs are going to share in a £1 billion TV rights package currently being negotiated by Richard Scudamore.
A report in the WorldFootballInsider said this morning. English Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is close to announcing a 1 billion pound ($1.6bn) for global TV rights to screen league matches, according to The Sun newspaper. Under the deal, the 20 EPL clubs each stand to get 50 million pounds. Negotiations are still to be completed for major markets such as China and Russia. The new deal marks a significant increase on the current £645m contract which runs out at the end of the season.
