Burnley set for potential blow as Bayer Leverkusen emerge in transfer battle for Southampton forward
The Clarets have had offers turned down for Tella after his loan stint at Turf Moor last season, but Leverkusen are now looking into a move
Despite some significant sales in recent weeks of players like James Ward-Prowse and Tino Livramento, Southampton’s squad at Championship level is still a strong one
Not only have they still got a lot of players who were on the books for them as a top flight outfit last season, they also welcomed back loanees from the 2022-23 season such as Nathan Tella.
Tella returned to the club over the summer at the conclusion of his loan spell away at Championship title-winners Burnley and he was prominent in Southampton’s opening match of the season against Sheffield Wednesday, firing a shot towards goal early on in the contest which was diverted in off Adam Armstrong’s head.
