Dealing with rejection is one of the most difficult parts of being a football player, especially as a young player. When Nathan Tella was sacked from Arsenal at the age of 17, the winger was unsure of what to do next in his career.

He spent 10 years at Hale End Academy, where he grew up alongside rising stars such as Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith Rowe. In 2022, Terra said in an interview with Vavel: “I can’t believe it. I’ve only known Arsenal since I was discovered by a scientist at the age of 6. “It’s a bit embarrassing for me, because I told all my friends and family how I left Arsenal I don’t know what to say. “It’s tough because I don’t know what I want to do.

Maybe I could stay at Arsenal and try to force them to make a decision again, or I could leave and try. “I told my family. I told my agent and they said it’s better to get out of my comfort zone and see what I can do. Advertisement “I met him at Reading, Norwich and most recently at Southampton. It’s all good now and I’m with a lot of Southampton stars like Adam Lallana, Theo Walcott, Alec Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gareth Bale, before he joins Championship side Burnley on loan in 2023.

Finally, Tella, who has made 32 appearances in the top flight at St Mary’s in two seasons, has done it again, guiding the Clarets to the title. He has scored 17 goals in 39 Championship games, as Vincent Kompany’s side top scorers and helped Burnley to 101 points. But there’s a bigger prize at the end of the rainbow for Tella, who is leaving Southampton on a permanent deal in the summer of 2023 to try something different abroad.

Bayer Leverkusen have decided to sign Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka during the transfer window. The two players passed each other in the Arsenal corridor in 2016, becoming Bayer Leverkusen’s two most expensive signings of the summer, with Xhaka signing for £21.5m and Tra for £20m.
