Werder Bremen defender Felix Agu says he is no longer open to representing Germany at U21 level with his sight now on representing Nigeria at senior international level.
The 22 year old turned down the chance to represent Nigeria two years ago for a chance with the U21 of Germany where he ended up playing two games.
However following the relegation of Bremen to the second division in Germany, he hasn’t been considered for a call up and that appears to have play a role in his decision to commit to Nigeria.
Per an interview with Deich Stube, Agu said although he hasn’t heard from Nigeria in a while, he is now more than ever ready to play for Nigeria despite turning down an invitation in favour of playing for Germany U21.
“I haven’t heard anything for a long time (From Nigeria). Maybe it will come again. At that time I canceled the Nigerian Association 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.
“Now my time with the U21 is over. But it wasn’t a decision against Nigeria, it was a decision to keep my surroundings that are more or less familiar. Now I am open to the topic.”
