Chief agent Aidy Ward is under investigation by the Football Federation over an allegation he paid a relative £ 10,000 for a player to join his agency, in violation of the regulations.
Agents are not permitted to approach youth families to offer representation until the player is in his 16th year.
The FA has the power to ban officers found guilty of breaking the rules.
Ward was contacted for comment by BBC Sport.
Until last year he represented Manchester City striker Raheem Sterling. They broke up at the end of their contract because Sterling wanted to take control of his business.
Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who is on loan at West Bromwich Albion, are among the players represented by Ward’s Colossal Sports Management agency.
