Lord Stevens' bung inquiry will be given the name of the mystery Premiership manager who BBC's Panorama programme claimed was set to accept a £50,000 bribe.
Undercover reporters had set up a sting involving the manager but he did not
turn up to collect his payment from a hotel room.
Panorama claimed he was scared off after Luton manager Mike Newell went public
with his bung claims.
It is understood that the name of the manager in question has been passed on
to the Football Association who will in turn pass it onto Lord Stevens.
The former Metropolitan Police commissioner has targeted 39 transfers at eight
Premiership clubs for further investigation, but is also looking at all other
evidence of alleged corruption in the top flight.
An FA spokesman said: 'All relevant information that we receive from the BBC
will be passed on to Lord Stevens' inquiry.'
Stevens is due to make his final report to Premier League in two months' time
after an inquiry that began seven months ago and will cost more than £800,000.
One possible recommendation from Stevens is that all clubs should make public
their payments to agents.
