They reported that the Jordan brand are trying to break into football and see the England star as a big name as they look to gain publicity.
Sterling has had to battle constant criticism over his attitude and demeanor at times as he became an easy target for some fans. He was particularly maligned at international level as part of an under achieving England team.
