Wilfried Zaha appears to still be determined to leave Crystal Palace.

The 26-year-old wants to change agents after failing to secure a move away from Selhurst Park during the summer transfer window, according to Jason Burt of The Telegraph.

Burt reports that Zaha blames his agency, Unique Sports Management, for its inability to engineer a move and that he expressed his desire to terminate his relationship with the company to its director, Will Salthouse.

Zaha was reportedly pursued rather aggressively by both Arsenal and Everton during the summer period.

The two Premier League clubs ultimately abandoned their pursuits due to Palace's high demands, as the south London side refused to budge from its £80-million valuation.

Zaha will seek fresh representation ahead of the January transfer window once his lawyers and the agency agree to terms of his release.

The Ivory Coast international scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 34 Premier League appearances last season.
