Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha has moved to cut ties with his agent.

The Times says Zaha has told his agent he wants to terminate their contract, citing the latter's relationship with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.

It has been reported that the agent, Will Salthouse, whose agency USM helped thrash out some of the biggest deals of the summer window, has been told in writing about Zaha's desire to go their different ways.

The FA have now been informed of a 'dispute' between the 26-year-old and his agent, according to sources.

Zaha had admitted before last season came to an end that he wanted a new challenge and to compete in Europe, with both Arsenal and Everton showing heavy interest in the Ivory Coast international.

However, Zaha had to stay put in the summer as Palace played hardball over their £80million valuation of their star man.
