Under Armour Signs 4 New Footballers From Top Clubs, But It Is Not the Top Stars

The American brand Under Armour has signed Ferran Torres and Fermin López of FC Barcelona, Arsenal's Ben White, and Bayern Munich's Sascha Boey. These players are not the headline stars of their clubs but are more or less consistent performers for some of the world’s biggest teams.

Ferran Torres today finalized his contract with Under Armour after being spotted wearing the Shadow Elite 2.0 boots for months. Ben White, who previously wore Adidas, now sports the same model.
