Agent of former Swansea boss Laudrup in FA probe

Whistle Blower website Football Leaks have claimed that Michael Laudrup's agent illegally received 7.5% of the profits from Swansea City's transfers during the Dane's 19-month reign at the Liberty Stadium.

Agent Bayram Tutumlu is alleged to have received more than £3million in fees from Swansea's transfers and now leaked documents from March 2013 which shows that the Swans agreed to pay Laudrup's agent 7.5% of profits on all outgoing transfers.

Signed by chairman Huw Jenkins, the document is dated March 6 2013 and reads: "Should any players be sold from the club during the period of the renegotiated contract, you will receive 7.5 per cent of any net proceeds."

Such an agreement is against FA regulations and The Sun have gone on to claim that the governing body are set to launch a probe against Swansea regarding the issue.
