Wilfried Zaha wants to change agents after failing to secure a move away from Crystal Palace this summer.

The matter is now in the hands of lawyers after the winger formally told Will Salthouse, a director of Unique Sports Management, that he wanted to terminate the relationship.

Zaha’s decision suggests he remains determined to leave Palace as soon as possible.

USM are understood to be disappointed and saddened by Zaha’s reaction given they worked hard to try and broker a deal for him to leave during the transfer window.

Offers from Arsenal and Everton, who pushed to sign the 26 year-old right up until the window closed and tried to offer acceptable terms, were rejected by Palace who stood firm in their valuation of at least £80 million in cash.
