Super agent Pini Zahavi netted a stunning fee from former Chelsea fullback Wayne Bridge's move to Manchester City, it has been revealed.

The Sunday Mirror says Chelsea paid Zahavi around £900,000 commission following Bridge's transfer to Manchester City.

Zahavi's name appeared on the ADF1 form submitted by Chelsea to the Premier League and FA when Bridge's £13.5million transfer was completed. The Blues are publicly committed to cost-cutting measures. Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed his frustration at the lack of transfer funds.

They recently sacked scouts, halved the players' ticket allocation and considered charging them for food at the training ground.

A Chelsea spokesman said: "It can be confirmed that the agent Pini Zahavi acted for Chelsea on the transfer of Wayne Bridge. All football and any other relevant regulations were followed to the letter. We were very satisfied with the transfer fee received for this transfer.

"Chelsea does not work exclusively with any one agent."
