Through a statement on their official webpage, English Premier League club Southampton have announced the signing of highly-rated Nigerian winger Nathan Tella from Arsenal.

A month ago, Tella, himself, confirmed that his transfer to The Saints was in the bag following a successful trial, and the club have disclosed the duration of the deal is for three months or in other words he'll complete the remainder of his scholarship until the end of this season.

Speaking after Southampton confirmed the transfer, Tella said : “I am delighted to have signed here.”

“It’s just a relief to know that I have found a place that I can settle down and crack on with my future.

“I had a really good ten years at Arsenal and I wouldn’t change any of it, but I am looking forward to starting a new chapter here now.”

Nathan Tella, who was linked with possible moves to Norwich City and Reading, netted his first goal for Southampton U18s in their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.
