The English Football Association are set to ask world football governing body Fifa to put pressure on eight agents to co-operate with the Lord Stevens bungs inquiry.

Officials from Stevens' firm Quest met the FA yesterday for the first time since the former Metropolitan Police commissioner published the findings of his inquiry into illegal payments.

The identities of the eight agents, all of whom have a foreign connection, were handed over to the FA.

It is understood Quest also requested that the FA ask Fifa to pressurise the agents to open up their accounts so that the money from 17 Premier League transfers can be traced.
