Nathan Tella

Nathan Tella is Bayer Leverkusen’s bronze Creator, providing a versatile hybrid profile that blends creative vision with a high motor. A decorated champion with eight career trophies, including the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal double, the 25-year-old has established himself as a reliable tactical asset since arriving from Southampton building his body of work in Germany.

This season, Tella is maintaining a consistent level as his reliability band is currently emerging within the squad rotation. With 10 appearances and 458 minutes on the pitch, he has proven his value as a GOLD TRAY specialist, boasting a significant assist frequency. His playmaking is backed by a Passing dimension of 76, reflecting his ability to find teammates in tight spaces under pressure. Having earned the ARCHITECT badge, he consistently looks to break defensive lines. While his recent form of 48 suggests he is searching for his peak rhythm, his underlying style rating of 76 confirms that his technical foundation remains elite for this level.

Despite a slight dip in market value to €15M, the Nigerian international remains a high-value asset in Leverkusen's deep squad. In the heat of a grueling title race, his ability to inject Intensity into the final third ensures he remains a vital component of Xabi Alonso’s tactical plans.
