Charles Sale: Spurs fight agent on £500,000 claim from Wilson Palacios' transfer

High court action: Palacios' (left) transfer to Spurs is under scrutiny


Champions League contenders Tottenham face a High Court action from an agent who claims the club owe him at least £500,000 in commission from his role in the £8million transfer of midfielder Wilson Palacios, who has been one of Spurs’ players of the season.

Licensed middle man Faisal Kashmiri, of the Strata Sports agency, alleges in his lodged writ for damages that he was hired by Spurs manager Harry Redknapp to negotiate the Palacios move from Wigan.

Kashmiri, who was charged with breaching the FA’s agents regulations in 2008 over Nick Carle’s move from Bristol City to Crystal Palace, claims he had several meetings with Wigan’s then manager Steve Bruce to set up the Palacios transfer before asking Spurs what commission he would be paid. The agent alleges he had a verbal agreement for 7.5 per cent of the transfer fee.
