"We are pleased to formally bring the Arqam data quality expertise into our mix" said Ted Knutson, CEO of StatsBomb.  "Arqam gives us more than 2X data points of any other provider and we are seeing results on and off the field. Our teams are up 20% in points per game year over year, and many clubs are maximizing player transfer values and finding hidden gems due to in part to StatsBomb." While deal terms were not announced, Arqam joins StatsBomb with the shared mission of providing the best data and analytics solution to clubs, media and gaming partners via API or through our proprietary, easy to use, visual dashboard, StatsBomb IQ. "In today's day and age, we find that a single extra goal in the Premier League is valued at over £2.5M" says Knutson.
