<br>Uche played a full part in midfield, but Getafe struggled to contain Las Palmas’ second-half surge. Despite the loss, the Nigerian continues to be a consistent presence in the squad.

<br>Christantus Uche’s growth this season has been steady and eye-catching. While Getafe’s form may fluctuate, Uche remains a reliable engine in midfield quietly effective, tactically sound, and steadily maturing into the kind of player Nigeria needs to monitor closely.

<br>The 3-1 defeat to Las Palmas is a tough pill to swallow, especially at home. But for Uche, every game in La Liga is a learning curve, and his consistent appearances speak volumes about the trust the coaching staff places in him.

<br>We believe it’s time the NFF starts taking his [progress](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/match-previews-and-reviews/isaac-success-scores-dramatic-match-winner-on-debut/) seriously. He’s young, he’s gaining top-flight experience, and he’s versatile enough to offer the Super Eagles a much-needed midfield option. If Nigeria is serious about building for the future, players like Uche should be in the conversation.
