Bremen managing director of football Frank Baumann is pleased with the signing of the ‘talented player.’

"Felix is a young, talented player who can be deployed flexibly. We are delighted that he has chosen Werder despite other lucrative requests,” he told the club website.

The River Islanders manager Florian Kohfeldt added: "Felix has good speed, a good passing game and as a full-back, in Osnabruck he has developed well.

“We would like to continue this development with him at Werder."

Agu will, however, wait till next summer to team up with his new club and will be expected to play a key role for the side in the 2020-2021 season.
