West Brom striker Saido Berahino has parted company with Aidy Ward, the controversial football agent behind Raheem Sterling’s transfer fiasco with Liverpool.
The 21-year-old joined Sterling in going with Ward when the agent set up on his own last season after leaving Impact Sports Management.
But Berahino, who was called up to the England squad last November, is said to have become disillusioned with Ward following Sterling’s attempts to leave Anfield.

The 20-year-old phoned in sick on Wednesday and has said he won’t go on Liverpool’s pre-season tour.
Berahino’s management contract — still with Impact — expires in November.
Ward said: ‘I’m no longer working with Saido. You’ll have to ask him for the reasons. With Raheem, there has been a breakdown in trust between him and Brendan Rodgers.’
The controversial agent caused controversy towards the end of last season when he discussed Sterling's contract dispute with Liverpool in the media.

'I don't care about the PR of the club and the club situation. I don't care,' said Ward in May.
'He is definitely not signing. He's not signing for £700, £800, £900,000 a week. He is not signing.
'My job is to make sure I do the best with them (my clients). If people say I am bad at my job, or they are badly advised it does not matter.'
Sterling is now expected to leave Anfield this summer, with Manchester City his most likely destination.
