Raheem Sterling's high-profile £48 million move from Liverpool to Manchester City has earned him a reputation as a bit of a moneygrabber. But now there's a campaign to get Raheem to appear on money.
It's very unlikely, but it means that Sterling could actually be in with a chance of appearing on the £20 note.
The trouble is, the Bank of England are specifically looking for a figure from the visual arts community to appear on the note, but it could be argued that Raheem is adept at visual arts.
The Bank of England are also unlikely to accept nominations for people who are still alive, unless they set a new precedent. No living person, other than the Monarch, has appeared on UK sterling.
And the Bank of England have specified they are not looking for "fictional or living characters".
But one of the friends behind the campaign thinks he can change their mind.
“The Bank of England say they won’t feature living characters but we think they should make an exception," said Stephen Cross, who is an Arsenal fan.
"The timing is perfect, he shares his name with our currency and in one deal has probably just earned the country a huge sum in tax”.
The trio have built a website to promote their cause, and with the Bank of England nominations only open for two more days, they're hoping then can get Sterling on our sterling.
