New Super Eagles right-back, Felix Agu has publicly encouraged his Werder Bremen teammate Justin Njinmah to consider representing Nigeria at the international level, following his own debut for the Nigerian national team.

The 25-year-old Agu made his appeal after featuring in his first match for the Super Eagles during the Unity Cup tournament held in London, where Nigeria secured victory against Jamaica in a penalty shootout.

From Germany to Nigeria: Agu's International Switch

Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, Agu previously represented Germany at the U21 level in two friendly matches in 2019 before switching his international allegiance to Nigeria. His transition to the Super Eagles marks another addition to the growing list of diaspora talents joining the Nigerian national team setup.

Following his debut appearance, Agu expressed his pride on Instagram with a simple yet meaningful post that read "Proud." This post attracted attention from various followers, including his Werder Bremen teammate Njinmah, who commented, "My brothaaa" accompanied by a white heart emoji.

In response, Agu made his intentions clear with a direct message: "u next!!" This exchange has been widely interpreted as an invitation for the 24-year-old Njinmah to follow Agu's path and declare for Nigeria rather than Germany.

Njinmah's International Future

Unlike Agu, Njinmah has yet to represent either Germany or Nigeria at any international level, leaving his options open. This situation presents an opportunity for the Nigerian Football Federation to secure another talented player for the national team as they continue to strengthen their squad with diaspora talents.

The recruitment of players with Nigerian heritage from European leagues has been a consistent strategy for the Super Eagles in recent years, with several successful additions bolstering the team's competitive edge in continental and global competitions.

As Agu begins his journey with the Super Eagles, football fans will be watching closely to see if Njinmah follows suit, potentially adding another dimension to Nigeria's attacking options in future international fixtures.
