Ikechukwu Uche says things are going well under Shaibu Amodu

Nigeria striker Ikechukwu Uche has said the Super Eagles have been transformed since their disastrous Nations Cup campaign in Ghana.

Uche said that under Shaibu Amodu and his coaching team, Nigeria can win anything.

Amodu has been the subject of some stinging criticism in Nigeria, despite the side topping their World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group.

But Uche insists things are going well under the relatively new boss.

"We have to thank the coaches because they are doing a great job," he told the BBC.

"Nigeria has a lot of talent and it is difficult to make selection, and the ones who are playing will try to do very well.

"Right now everyone wants to play, we are trying to come together and play as a team and be together.

Uche scored the winning goal against South Africa which maintained their 100 percent record in qualifying so far.

The Super Eagles were the first team to make sure of their place in the next round of qualifying.

Uche is also looking forward to a successful season with his club side Getafe, in Spain.

"My ambition this season is to end up top of the league," he said.

"That is what every player wants. To have a good season is about playing well and being part of the team every weekend."

He has not started a game for Getafe yet this season but has come off the bench and says he is determined to make an impact.

"I am happy with the way things are going.

"Now I have to continue working hard because it is not easy to get to this stage in football."
