Southampton winger Tella welcomes new signing Caballero

Southampton winger Nathan Tella has welcomed new signing Willy Caballero.

Caballero, 40, arrived at the club this week on a one-month deal, following injuries to the club's two most senior goalkeepers in Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy.

That left Harry Lewis as the only other first-team keeper on the books, the 23-year-old having not yet made his Premier League debut.

Caballero was a free agent, having left Chelsea over the summer.

Asked how Caballero had settled in at Saints, his new teammate Tella told the Daily Echo: "He's trained with us the past two days. He's looked very good.

"It's nice to have someone there as well with a lot of experience.

"He's here to help us pick up points and get back further up the table, where we feel like we deserve to be.

"It's just nice to have him because we've got quite a young team, quite a young defence and it will be nice for him to just pass that experience.

"He communicates a lot to the back four, which is good. That is something we need.

"I'm looking forward to seeing him play at the weekend, if he plays."
