Overview
- Bayer Leverkusen announced a new deal on Tuesday that keeps the Nigerian winger under contract until June 30, 2031.
- The extension replaces a 2028 expiry that was in place after his move from Southampton in 2023.
- Sporting chief Simon Rolfes praised his speed and technical quality and called him an important voice in the dressing room.
- Tella said he feels incredibly comfortable at Bayer 04 and described the agreement as a sign of a special bond.
- Injuries have limited him to 16 competitive games without a goal this season, which the new deal suggests the club views as a short-term setback.
