Crystal Palace winger Asher Agbinone has revealed that in addition to his native England, he is also eligible to play for two other national teams.
The 19-year-old qualifies to represent the Super Eagles through his Nigerian father and Republic of the Congo’s Red Devils through his mother.
However, the exciting forward is there for the taking as he has not been capped at international level by any of the three countries he is eligible for.
He is being tipped as a future first team player at Crystal Palace, and has received 14 call-ups for first team games in the first half of the campaign before heading to League Two club Gillingham on loan until the end of the season.

Agbinone joined Crystal Palace at U-9 level, progressing through the ranks to make his Premier League debut off the bench against Nottingham Forest in October 2024.
The following month, the tri-national forward made his home debut as a substitute in a 2-0 loss to Fulham in the Premier League.
Speaking to Palace TV today, Agbinone stated: “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 where I am from probably. I can never forget where I am from, it shaped who I am today.”
