SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The sports unit of cash-strapped Chinese technology giant LeEco will continue to broadcast English Premier League soccer games over the New Year after reaching a compromise with the rights holders over unpaid fees.

LeSports signed an agreement in July to make all 380 matches over the 2016-17 English Premier League (EPL) season available online to its subscribers via its on-demand platforms.
