Crystal Palace fans have taken to Twitter to react following comments from Italian footballing agent Federico Pastorello on Sky Sports about Wilfried Zaha's chances of a transfer in January.

Pastorello - who The Daily Mail claim to be Zaha's agent - revealed that his client is a "top player" and deserves a fresh challenge at a new club.

Of course, the Ivory Coast international handed in a transfer request back in the summer after seeing a number of bids from both Arsenal and Everton rejected by Eagles chief Steve Parish, but the forward has got his head down and carried on performing for his side - Zaha has two goals and an assist so far in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea are believed to be interested in a January move for the former Manchester United winger after seeing their transfer ban reduced.

However, it seems like some Palace fans on Twitter have reacted badly to Pastorello's comments.

One supporter complained that the big clubs don't deserve Zaha, having overlooked him for so long and opting for foreign imports such as Nicolas Pepe.

These two fans below also showcased some annoyance at the comments, with one stating that Pastorello is a "mug".

The other supporter said that it is "actually embarrassing" how much Sky Sports are trying to generate transfer news regarding Zaha before the window has even opened.

A third Palace fan below that aforementioned supporter also echoed the same sentiment, stating that there is now another opportunity for Sky to try and sell the club's players.

Towards the end of the tweets, there are some harsher words for Pastorello other than him being called a mug.

This supporter below went one up on that, calling Zaha's agent a "parasite" whereas - as you can see - another fan said that Sky are "absolutely obsessed" with the Palace academy graduate, stating that it is an "embarrassing agenda".
