Newcastle United are expecting another big windfall at the end of the season.

A giant kit deal with Adidas is set for renewal, but it is believed that Nike are ready to fight for next year's contract.

Nike make Manchester United and Arsenal's kits, but with Newcastle's new European status and the fact that only Man Utd sell more replica shirts than Newcastle, Nike are keen to tie up a deal.
