Felix Agu Declares Desire to Play for Nigeria Over Germany

Werder Bremen defender Felix Agu has officially expressed his desire to represent Nigeria at the international level, despite previously playing for Germany’s U-21 team.

Switching Allegiance to Nigeria

Agu, born in Osnabrück, Germany, to a Nigerian father and a German mother, has represented Germany at youth level but remains eligible for the Super Eagles. In a recent interview with Oma TV, the 25-year-old revealed that playing for Nigeria would be a dream come true.

“To play at the national level was always a dream of mine, and I had to make half of the decision already by playing for the German under-21 team,” Agu stated. “But I’ve talked a lot to Justin Njinmah about playing for Nigeria, and we both think it would be a dream come true.”

A Valuable Addition to the Super Eagles?

Agu has played 14 league matches for Werder Bremen this season, showcasing his versatility as a left-back and occasional defensive midfielder. Known for his dribbling, agility, and balance, he has made 88 appearances for Bremen since joining in 2020, scoring four goals and providing eight assists.

Bruno Onyemaechi is the regular choice at left defender for Nigeria, but there is still opportunity for improvement. Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle, who has already selected his team for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, now has an extra choice because to Agu's availability. Agu might, however, be called up during the upcoming international window.

Now that his intentions are known, Agu might soon receive an invitation from the Nigeria Football Federation, which would add another gifted player from abroad to the national team roster.
