Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen Sign Southampton Winger Nathan Tella

Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen announced Sunday the signing of English winger Nathan Tella from the English club Southampton.

The 24-year-old signed a five-year deal to join the newcomers during this summer transfer period – German Jonas Hofmann, Swiss Granit Xhaka, Nigerian Victor Boniface, and Croatian Josip Stanisic.

Leverkusen’s sporting managing director Simon Rolfes hailed Tella as a fast winger who can score and has potential to develop.

Tella starred for Burnley on loan last season and contributed to the team’s promotion to the Premier League by scoring 17 goals.
