Felix Agu: A Journey Through His Football Career

Felix Agu (born 27 September 1999) is a German professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Werder Bremen. He has represented Germany internationally at U21 level.

In late January 2020, media reported that Agu would move to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen for the 2020–21 season having agreed a four-year contract with the club. With his VfL Osnabrück due to run out, he would join on a free transfer. In early February, the move was officially announced.

Agu made his Bundesliga debut in Werder Bremen’s 1–1 draw against Bayern Munich on 21 November 2020, being brought on as a substitute in the 66th minute. He played in midfield instead of his usual full-back position With first-choice left-back Ludwig Augustinsson sidelined through injury, Agu made his first Bundesliga appearance as a starter in a 2–0 win against FC Augsburg on 16 January 2021. He contributed with his first assist and his first goal in the league.

Agu agreed an extension of his contract with Werder Bremen in February 2022.

Born in Germany, Agu is of Nigerian descent. He is a youth international for Germany, having appeared for the U21 side.

Agu was initially slated to only train with the Super Eagles in London, but he has now got his chance to fly with the three-time African champions after the German FA clarified that his two appearances for the U21s were friendlies and so he does not need to make a formal application to FIFA to change his international allegiance.

Unity Cup: Werder Bremen Coach Backs Agu To Shine for Super Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation has confirmed that Felix Agu will be eligible to feature for the Super Eagles, during the Unity Cup exhibition tournament scheduled to take place in London, in the United Kingdom, after the full-back was given the all clear by the German Federation.

“The German FF have written to confirm that the player has never represented them at any official game at the A and Junior level.

“played only 2 friendly games for the U-21 team in 2019. Welcome Felix!”

Agu, who is currently on the books of German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, received an invitation from Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to train with the national team, ahead of the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London.

However, he had not yet joined the national team set-up before the recent development.

The 25-year-old, who represented Germany twice at U-21 level, played a total of 22 matches for Bremen in the just-concluded 2024/2025 German Bundesliga campaign. His output saw him score three goals from his left flank position, whilst providing only one assist to help the Green-Whites to a respectable eighth-placed finish, where they accumulated 51 points from 34 games.

On the disciplinary front, Agu was only yellow carded once across the 22 top-flight matches he featured. He also took part in the 2024/2025 DFB Pokal (German Cup), making just three appearances and registering zero goal and assist. His previous national team engagements came with the German U-21s as far back in 2019, where he featured twice under manager Stefan Kuntz in youth friendly encounters.

The non-competitive games Agu featured for Germany had no impediments in his decision to switch allegiance and represent his fatherland.
