Wilfried Zaha eyed by Paul Pogba agent after 'axing representative over failed transfer'

Wilfried Zaha is being chased by super agent Mino Raiola after the Crystal Palace winger issued a letter to axe his current representative.

Ivory Coast international following a failed summer transfer to either Arsenal or Everton .

According to the Times, Zaha is unhappy with Salthouse's relationship with Palace chairman Steve Parish and blames him for failing to move in the last window.

As such, Zaha is now hot property in agent circles with Raiola one of the many delegates hoping to catch the former Manchester United man's attention, according to the Daily Mail.

Italian-born Dutchman Raiola is one of the most recognisable agents in European football - having helped Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Matthijs de Ligt, Mario Balotelli and many more make massive moves.

Zaha will be hoping that if he were to sign with Raiola, who lost Romelu Lukaku as a client earlier this year, then he would be able to broker a transfer in January.

He had made it clear he wanted to make a switch this summer by handing in a transfer request, with the Gunners and Toffees interested in his signature.

The 26-year-old said back in April: "For me to be better, to achieve what I know I am capable of, I have to aim to play at the very highest level, to win trophies.

“I’m blessed to have come this far in my playing career. But I feel like there is so much more I have to offer.

“I have to experience the Champions League. I just need the opportunity.”
