report that Tweneboah breached the FA's agent rules after Olise penned a three-year deal with the Royals.

He entered into an agreement which made him eligible for a cut of a future transfer fee for Olise.

Such agreements are prohibited by the FA, with only clubs and players able to benefit, not agents.

Tweneboah, who is still a registered intermediary acting on Olise's behalf, will begin his six-month ban from October 4.

However, Tweneboah will be able to broker any deal involving Olise this summer before his ban comes into forced in October.

The 22-year-old winger joined Reading's academy in 2017 before progressing into the first-team.

Following four years with the club, he was sold to Crystal Palace for £8million in 2021.
