Arsenal winger Nathan Tella joins Southampton in permanent deal

Arsenal winger Nathan Tella has signed for Southampton on a permanent deal following a successful trial.

The 17-year-old progressed through the ranks at Arsenal’s Hale End academy before signing scholarship terms but was informed earlier this year that he wouldn’t be offered a professional contract.

A direct and skilful player, Tella featured prominently for Arsenal at U18 level, although he also endured misfortune with injury.
