Keshi - IK Uche Selected To Play In This World Cup

Coach Stephen Keshi has stated that Villareal striker Ikechukwu Uche will be given a chance to fight for a shirt in his 2014 Fifa World Cup squad.

Uche who last played for Nigeria at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa has been in impressive form scoring 12 goals in 19 appearances for the Yellow Submarine in the Spanish Liga.

Keshi declared that he has been monitoring his performance and would extend an invitation to him when the time comes.

"I have been following the exploits of Ike Uche in Spain just like other players in Europe and when I send in my World Cup list his efforts would not go unrewarded," Keshi told Complete Sports.


"The Eagles team is very open for any Nigerian who is doing well in any part of the world," he said.

The 'Big Boss' also hinted that his ambition is to do well in Brazil and for this reason will pick the best legs on ground.

"The aim is to do well at the World Cup and to do that we must have our best players available for selection.

"We have quite a lot of players doing well at home and abroad and we hope to give everyone
of them the opportunity to fight
for a place in the World Cup-
bound team."

Keshi refused to predict how
high the Eagles will fly in Brazil
but revealed that the team
must work hard to get past the
group stage.

"We have to first of all ensure
that we qualify from the group
then take the matches as they
come. Hard work and focus will
be the key to what we will
achieve in Brazil and by the grace of God we shall not fail to
leave our mark," he concluded.

Nigeria will face Argentina, Iran
and Bosnia-Herzegovina in Group
F of the quadrennial global
football fiesta.
