Ex-Man Utd, Everton striker Saha wants to wipe out dishonest agents

Former Manchester United and Everton striker Louis Saha has created a website in an attempt to wipe out dodgy agents.

Following his retirement, Saha has with the help of IT experts, created 'Axis Stars' which helps athletes manage their assets and the company already boasts a host of top clients on their portfolio including Chelsea star Didier Drogba, NBA player Boris Diaw, Olympic champion Mo Farah and tennis pro Gael Monfils.

Now Saha has developed an extension of his company by creating a 'TripAdvisor'-style website which is aimed at helping footballers avoid being conned by agents.

He said: "The pilot phase is now over. We think the model is working. We just need to make sure the development team is big enough to sustain the big numbers we think are coming.

"We invested pretty much everything to make it the way it is right now. We're raising funds because it's really interesting and people are going for it."
