Southampton have snapped up Arsenal winger Nathan Tella.
Tella has signed for Southampton on a permanent deal following a successful trial, reports the Jeorge Bird Arsenal youth website.
The 17-year-old progressed through the ranks at Arsenal's Hale End academy before signing scholarship terms.
However, Tella was informed this year that he wouldn't be offered a professional contract.
A direct and skilful player, Tella featured prominently for Arsenal at U18 level, although he also endured misfortune with injury.
