Crystal Palace winger Asher Agbinone has disclosed his eligibility to play for three national teams — Nigeria, the Republic of Congo, and England.
The 19-year-old, who is yet to be capped at the international level, is qualified through his Nigerian father and Congolese mother.
Agbinone, who joined Palace at the U9 level, made his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest in October 2024 and his home debut as a substitute in the team’s 2-0 loss to Fulham.
Speaking to Palace TV, the promising winger highlighted the influence of his heritage.
“South London is a very diverse place. My mom’s from Congo, my dad is from Nigeria. Whenever someone asks me where I am from, I’ll tell them proudly. I can never forget where I am from; it shaped who I am today,” he said.
The young talent’s versatility and international eligibility make him a potential prospect for the three nations moving forward.
