# DR Congo pushing for Wan-Bissaka to pick them over England

Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is being eyed up by DR Congo for a potential call-up this month.

[According to The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-lose-crystal-palaces-aaron-14102664), DR Congo are looking to prize Wan-Bissaka from England and have him represent them at international level.

Wan-Bissaka was born in London and has lived there his entire life, but qualifies to play for DR Congo through his family, meaning that he could potentially ditch England.

The report claims that Gareth Southgate is considering him for the next England squad, but has a selection dilemma on his hands.

Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all England regulars at right-back and are established players at top-six clubs, which could make it difficult for Wan-Bissaka to break through into the side.

DR Congo are said to be trying hard to convince Wan-Bissaka that playing for them over England is best for his future, as they look to secure a top talent.
