Sampson Adedeji
German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen defender, Felix Agu, has declared his readiness to represent Nigeria's Super Eagles in future international games and competitions, BSNsports.com.ng can report.
The 22-year-old defender was born to a Nigerian father in Germany and he previously turned down an approach from the Nigeria Football Federation in order to play for Germany in the European U20 competition.
Having become a regular player for Bremen this season, the skilful defender has said he is ready to switch his allegiance to Nigeria.
“I haven’t heard anything for a long time. Maybe it will come again. At that time I cancelled the Nigerian federation because I wanted to go to the German U21s first.
"Up until then, I had never been to the national team and I wanted to get used to it first.
“Now my time with the U21 is over. But it wasn’t a decision against Nigeria, it was a decision that I should keep my familiar surroundings. Now I am open to the topic," he told Germany's news outlet Deich stube.
Agu has made 13 appearances for Bremen in the Bundesliga this season.
