Done Deal: Southampton confirm capture of Arsenal winger
Show/hide article…
The 17-year-old winger will spend the rest of his scholarship on the south coast with the Saints. “I am delighted to have signed here,” Tella told the club’s official website.
“I am delighted to have signed here” “It’s just a relief to know that I have found a place that I can settle down and crack on with my future. “I had a really good ten years at Arsenal and I wouldn’t change any of it, but I am looking forward to starting a new chapter here now.” Tella had been on trial with Southampton’s Under-18s and confirmed his move last month.
“I knew this was the place for me,” he added. “I felt that straight that straight away. The team play the same football that I like to play and the boys are all very team orientated. “The players are also really nice people off the pitch and have helped me to settle in quickly - I feel like I have known them all for a while already.”

Crystal Palace weighing up a summer move for Southampton striker
Show/hide article…
Crystal Palace are weighing up a summer move for Jay Rodriguez.
The Southampton forward could be allowed to move on after falling down the pecking order at St Mary’s.
Manolo Gabbiadini’s January arrival and brilliant impact have further hindered Rodriguez’s hopes of regular football under Saints boss Claude Puel.
Rodriguez was already battling Charlie Austin and Shane Long for game time.
Palace are now monitoring Rodriguez and are ready to fight long-term admirers West Brom to hand him a new Premier League challenge providing they stay up.

Ronald Koeman: I am not afraid to play youngsters no matter what Southampton say
Show/hide article…
Everton manager Ronald Koeman says his use of Academy players this season has dispelled the myth he does not give young players a chance.
Koeman was accused of showing little interest in the youth ranks during his reign at Southampton, whereas at Goodison Park teenagers such as Tom Davies have earned swift elevation into the first team.
The Dutch coach says it is the quality of the players that dictates selection, arguing the lack of progress of youngsters at his former club this season proves his judgment was correct.
“Maybe in Southampton they can look how many players made their debuts in the first team of Southampton when I was the manager,” said Koeman.
“Why didn’t they play for the first team more regularly? Because they were not good enough. This season they played in Europe and the manager was using a lot of players to have rotation. Now they don’t play in Europe tell me which young player is now in the first team? Nobody.

Ex-Saints lead tributes to Ugo
Show/hide article…
SAINTS legends have paid tribute to Ugo Ehiogu, who has died aged 44.
Ehiogu collapsed at Tottenham’s training centre on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Southampton’s 1976 FA Cup winning boss Lawrie McMenemy handed Ehiogu 15 caps for the England under-21s during his stint with the national side in the early 1990s.
He said: “Like everyone in football I was totally shocked to hear the news about Ugo Ehiogu.
“Whilst everyone one wants to beat the other one on match days, when it comes to things like this you realise football is a massive family.
“I knew Ugo very well. He actually played 15 under-21 games for England when I was in charge.
“He was a huge presence on the field. Off the field a gentle, likeable man, who was so popular in and around the dressing room and training pitch.
“He always had a smile and I can understand the loss that will be felt by the under-23 team at Tottenham as I am sure he has played his part by producing some of the players who are now doing so well in the first team.”
Former Saints striker, Mark Hughes, now boss at Stoke, added: “He was a big strong guy, a big athlete, and you knew when you went up against him it was always going to be a difficult game.”
Ex-England manager Steve McClaren won the 2004 League Cup at Middlesbrough with Ehiogu, who also played for Aston Villa, West Brom, Rangers, Sheffield United and Leeds.
McClaren said: “I’m absolutely devastated to hear the sad news about Ugo. What a sad loss he will be to football and, of course, to his family.
“I only saw him a couple of months ago on a coaching course at St George’s Park, looking fit and healthy as always.
“I remember Ugo as a gentle giant of a man off the field, but a real warrior on it. He was a leader and he was well on the way to becoming a very good coach.”
Boro chairman Steve Gibson spoke of “a great man”, saying: “I’m deeply shocked. Ugo was one of our heroes in Cardiff when the club won its only ever major trophy.
“Ugo and Gareth Southgate were the rock on which Steve McClaren brought the club its best period in its history.”
Ehiogu’s former Villa team-mates Paul Merson and Lee Hendrie both added their tributes.
A clearly emotional Merson said: “He was a top player, a top bloke and a good friend as well. He was always winding me up.”

SAINTS’ success in the final seven games of the season could be the difference between collecting an extra £16m in prize money or not – as the club close in on a half a billion cash haul.
Claude Puel’s men are currently in ninth place in the Premier League and, if they stay there, are set to fill the St Mary’s coffers with £22m for their final placing.
But Saints have ideas above that and are aiming to leapfrog West Bromwich Albion in eighth and collect more top-flight cash.
If they succeed in their mission to usurp the Baggies, Puel’s boys, who are four points off Tony Pulis’s side with two games in hand, will bring home £24m for their finish.
However, in the event they suffer a torrid end to the campaign, they could see themselves slip back into the bottom half of the table.
The lowest they could realistically finish is 16th, with AFC Bournemouth the current incumbent in that position on 35 points – five behind Saints.
If Saints do slip up, they could find themselves £16m out of pocket, with that 16th spot landing the club a paltry £10m in comparison for their placing.
That money gap is the same amount Saints spent on their record signing Sofiane Boufal, pictured below, last summer.
And to finish so low would not only hit the bank account, it would also be a pretty disastrous drop after three successive top eight finishes.
Puel’s men will be hoping to avoid such a capitulation and push on for more cash, and a fourth successive top half position in the Premier League.
So far Saints have raked in an astonishing £413,090,876 during their 17 seasons among the elite.
And this term they will break the half a billion mark, no matter where they end up.
On top of the merit-based finish, which is the prize money dished out for their final place, they will also receive a mind-boggling amount of television dosh.
Saints will be handed a cut of the new £5.136bn Premier League TV deal, with each top-flight guaranteed £85m each of that.
There’s further money distributed depending on how many of their matches have been broadcast on the small screen.
That ultimately means Saints will definitely land more than £100m, pushing them over the half a billion mark.

U23 Report: Saints 0-1 Derby County
Show/hide article…
Despite looking the more likely to make a breakthrough, the hosts were hit with a sucker punch when Alex Babos gave Darren Wassall’s side the advantage after the hour mark.
Radhi Jaïdi’s men started the brighter of the two teams and Josh Sims almost struck the first blow when he saw his drive test Kelle Roos in the Derby goal.
Their dominance almost paid dividends again when substitute Armani Little, on in place of an injured Yan Valery, got to the byline and picked out the run of Ryan Seager, who couldn’t quite turn his effort goalwards.
The visitors grew into the half though, with Mason Bennett’s low effort drifting just wide of Mouez Hassen’s goal.
After the break, the game followed a similar pattern, with Saints pressing for what was proving to be an elusive opener.
And it was to be the Rams who got it, when clever footwork from Cameron Cresswell saw the winger find Babos, who swept home from close range.
The goalscorer went close again late on when he broke clear from a Saints corner, before seeing his tame, low shot saved by the feet of Hassen.
Jaïdi introduced young forward Nathan Tella in search of a vital goal, and the former Arsenal man came close when Harrison Reed’s free-kick fell to him on the edge of the box, but his drive was inches wide.
With less than 10 minutes remaining, Sam McQueen’s marauding run down the left was almost rewarded when his inviting deep cross was punched away as far as Cuco Martina, who dragged his first-time volley.

Slattery: We must put it right
Show/hide article…
Saints fell to a 1-0 loss after Alex Babos’ second-half strike on a disappointing night, leaving their league position looking precarious ahead of a final day meeting with Manchester City.
“We knew the situation so we wanted to get a win out of it. We’re disappointed in ourselves for losing and the way we went about it,” Slattery reflected.
“We can’t do much about it now, we should have put it right on the pitch. We’ve got one game left now so we need to put it right there.
“City is what we’re going to prepare for now all week. We’ll focus on that because it’s a big game.
“We’ll do what we always do and prepare well. It’s a tough game but we know if do things right that anything can happen.”
