Southampton have formally announced the signing of former Arsenal winger Nathan Tella.

Tella, 17, has been at Arsenal for 10 years but was out of contract at the end of the season.

The winger 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."

Tella will now complete the remainder of his scholarship with Saints and will be with the club until the end of the season.
