SPONSORS
Nike – Jack Grealish currently has Nike as his main boot sponsor. The American company has a deal with England International until the end of this season. His sponsorship with Nike gained huge popularity during the 2019 Championship playoff finals where his battered Hypervenom Phantom III boots grabbed all the attention during the post-match celebrations. With his current deal expiring at the end of the season, Grealish is at the centre of a four-way sponsorship battle with the likes of Adidas, Puma, and Under Armour all looking to tie up the upcoming England superstar as Nike tries to lock in the Villa midfielder to a new and improved long-term contract.
EA Sports – In recent years, EA Sports has teamed up with a lot of professional football players to get them to play, and hence, promote, its FIFA games. EA joined hands with Jack Grealish in September 2019 at the time of their launch of the FIFA 19.
