Former Arsenal schoolboy Nathan Tella is poised to remain at Southampton beyond June 30, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

The exciting winger was offered a fresh contract by The Saints at the end of the 2016-2017 campaign, having sparkled for their U18 and U23 squads.

Tella and another Arsenal product Olufela Olomola returned to Staplewood Campus for the start of pre-season training on Thursday, which more or less confirms that he has penned a new deal.

The 17-year-old's wonder goal against Manchester City in the Premier League 2 won Southampton FC Goal of the Month award for May.

He spent ten years at Arsenal prior to his move to Southampton in March 2017.
