Werder Bremen left back Felix Agu is attracting serious interest from Premier League sides Fulham and West Ham United, while also emerging as a key dual-national target for Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle ahead of the Unity Cup in England this May.
Agu, 25, was born in Germany to a Nigerian father and remains eligible to play for Nigeria, as he has never been capped by Germany despite being an unused substitute for their U21 side in 2019. His recent public expression of interest in representing Nigeria has boosted efforts to bring him into the national setup.
Currently in his fifth season with Werder Bremen, Agu has played 92 matches for the club, contributing five goals and eight assists 59 of those appearances coming in the Bundesliga. Though initially a right-back, he has flourished on the left, making him a versatile defensive option.
With a contract running until 2027, Agu is said to have a release clause in the range of €8–10 million an accessible price for top-flight English clubs. Fulham and West Ham are closely monitoring his situation as the summer transfer window nears.
Editorial
Felix Agu’s name may not yet be echoing in every Nigerian household, but it should be. In a country constantly seeking consistency and depth in the full-back positions, Agu represents a golden opportunity not just for recruitment, but for reinvention.

The fact that both Fulham and West Ham are circling is telling. Agu is not just a Bundesliga regular he’s a modern full-back defensively solid, offensively adventurous, and tactically intelligent. That kind of profile doesn’t grow on trees, and certainly not in the current Nigerian pool, where versatility and match sharpness at elite level remain rare commodities.
Coach Eric Chelle has acted wisely by making his interest known early. Too often, Nigeria has lost out on dual-national stars by waiting too long or failing to follow through. This time, it seems, the Super Eagles are finally in front of the race.
Whether or not Agu makes the switch will depend on how fast and serious Nigeria acts. He’s open. He’s ready. And if that call-up comes, the country might just have found a solution on the flanks it’s been crying out for.
