Felix Agu (born 27 September 1999) is a German professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Werder Bremen.[2] He has represented Germany internationally at U21 level.

Club career

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.[3] In early February, the move was officially announced.[4][5]

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.[6] 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.[7]

Agu agreed an extension of his contract with Werder Bremen in February 2022.[8]

International career

Born in Germany, Agu is of Nigerian descent.[5] He is a youth international for Germany, having appeared for the U21 side.[9]
