Tella had his first training session with the Super Eagles on Tuesday in Uyo as the team prepares for Thursday’s qualifier against Lesotho.
When asked why type of player he is and what should fans be looking forward to:
“Someone who is direct, who makes a lot of runs, in behind, like to get into one versus one situations to dribble and also to score and assist my team,” he told NFF TV.
On his first session with the team, the 24-year-old described it as good.

“My first training session with the Super Eagles was good I’m with very talented team, very good players and it’s nice to be a part of them and they welcomed me well I’m happy and looking forward to the upcoming games.
“Just playing with the best players in the country. I always want to push myself and challenge myself to play with the best and be among the best. I got the opportunity to do it at club level now I can do it at international level so it’s a big opportunity for me.”
After Thursday’s matchday one game against Lesotho, the Super Eagles will face Zimbabwe on Sunday, 19 November in Rwanda.
