"His identification with Bayer 04 is evident and visible every day. In sporting terms, his pace and footballing ability are the outstanding qualities Nathan brings to our team."
The England-born Nigeria international sees his long-term commitment to Leverkusen as "an expression of a special relationship. I really feel at home at Bayer 04, the first few years have seen a lot of fantastic successes," said Tella. "It's great fun to now be part of the development of a new and powerful team. I’m sure we will achieve our goals again in the coming years."
