WEST HAM star Gianluca Scamacca has been dropped by his agents the World Soccer Agency.
The company represents some major stars including Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski, Juventus icon Leonardo Bonucci and his team-mate Juan Cuadrado.
A statement read: “World Soccer Agency formally ends its working relationship with Gianluca Scamacca.
“Although the player express a desire to continue working together there was no longer the trust necessary for a healthy professional relationship.
“We thank the player for his time spent with WSA, and wish him all the best for the future.”
SunSport understands that Scamacca had a close relationship with World Soccer Agency so the break down in relations was not expected.

It is believed the striker could join CAA Stellar, who represent the likes of Jack Grealish, Jordan Pickford and Ben Chilwell.
Scamacca has not publicly commented on the split.
West Ham fans reacted with shock at the news, and questioned what it meant for his future at the London Stadium.
One said: “What does this mean? Is he out from West Ham or what?”

Another joked: “I’d sack my agent for moving to West Ham too.”
And one asked: “What is the reason for the lack of trust? What’s happened?”
Scamacca joined West Ham on a five-year deal last summer with the option of a further 12 months.
The Hammers paid a hefty £30m up front for the Italian striker, with £5m-plus in add-ons.
He also has a 10 per cent sell-on clause should the London side decide to offload him.
The forward has struggled in his first six-months at the club.
The ex-Roma trainee has scored just three Premier League goals in 16 appearances.
