Made his Premier League debut for Norwich over the weekend playing 45 min in their defeat to West Ham. 

English-born 19 year old winger who has played for us at u18 three years ago, but seems to have fallen off the radar with the disruption caused to fixtures by Covid. 

He has done very well at PL2/u23 lever this year, with 8 goals and 9 assists in 22 matches. 

With 3 more PL games for already-relegated Norwich, we might see him get more top-flight exposure, before what is hopefully a breakthrough year for him in the Championship next season. 

More on the lad here:

I see he's discussed in the underage prospects thread but probably deserves his own.
 
His club manager had this to say about his PL debut at the weekend: "I was really pleased with what Tony did. It's tough to come on when you're 3-0 down against West Ham. He is full of effort, endeavour and is skilful and talented. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come."

He's probably got duel citizenship and he was born in London.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Tony would be a good one to spring from the bench but at his age it might be putting a lamb to the wolves

Played once for us several years ago in an U18 friendly, I believe. Is he definitely eligible or is there a possibility he could be ineligible, like Taylor Gardner-Hickman?

It's possible that he could be ineligible, playing Under 18s doesn't necessarily mean anything as it's a non-competitive age group.

It appears that you find it funny that someone can identify as both Irish and English. That seems narrow minded to me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it funny. A bit like that time Simon Cox pretended he gave a sh*te about his roots and had Galway listed on his Twitter profile (until he stopped getting call-ups).

Hope springs to mind eternal. Yesterday most of us didn't know of this kid's existence. However he regards his heritage we'll know by and by.

The lad is seemingly eligible and hasn't ever played for the England underage set up. Again we can all see the barrier to entry that is getting into the England senior side long term especially in attacking positions 

Hopefully he's in the next 21s squad tbh if he makes a few PL appearances before the season runs out (can make 3 more) it would be silly not to bring him in even if he's making up the numbers of said squad. 

Smith seems to rate him could see him getting plenty gametime next year even if mostly off the bench.

He has cousins in Wexford think his mother is Irish born.

By virtue of being eligible for Ireland you'd assume he has cousins here alright, unless his entire extended family uprooted at the same time.

Good to see ties are strong then, not that it helped with Liam Delap... yet.

Few other players coming through with multiple options on the international scene.

Springett obviously born in England.

Ben Andreucci is a very promising forward playing for Leeds whose played for England u15s, Scotland u16 (I think) and now plays for us at u19s 

Paul Nebel (19) who is a German lad playing 9 times in the Bundesliga this season seems a maybe.



Nebel called up for the German U20s. Seems to be a case of "Don't call me, I'll call you". Opposite situation with Noss and Garcia-MacNulty. They're with us but have both made statements about their intl futures hinting that Germany/Spain would be their first choice in a perfect world.
