Expressing his enthusiasm about joining Die Werkself, Tella said, “Numerous young players from the Premier League have had the opportunity to showcase their talents in the Bundesliga and have significantly progressed here. The stadiums and the vibrant fan culture also captivate me. However, the primary reason behind my decision is clearly the Leverkusen team.”
