ADO Den Haag talent Tyronne Ebuehi says it is important to pick up three points when the Super Eagles begin the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa, and believes Nigeria have the players that can do the business.

However, the Dutch-born defender remains wary of the South Africans, pointing out that they are a good side.

''It is nice to be back in my father's country, happy to be here. It's something new being an international, it is something everybody dreams of,'' Ebuehi said to thenff.com.

''I am just blessed and really happy to be a part of the team.

''It is important to start strong, South Africa is also a good opponent, I think we have all it takes to win this game.''

Ebuehi first trained with the Super Eagles during the training camp in London in March, before making his debut against Togo on June 1.
