Everton have been reported to the Premier League and are facing legal action for allegedly failing to pay an agent fee related to a recent international signing.
Mail Sport has learned that a global agency has sent multiple legal letters to the club over an unpaid invoice worth several hundred thousand pounds, as well as engaging a debt recovery service in attempt to get the money.
Everton declined to comment when contacted by Mail Sport, but sources at the club dispute that they agreed to pay the agent. They also pointed out that the agent in question was not declared on the registration documents sent to the FA and Premier League.
