Nathan Tella Celebrates 100th Appearance for Leverkusen

Nathan Tella, a forward for Bayer Leverkusen, marked a significant milestone by making his 100th appearance for the club during a 2-1 victory against Köln on Saturday. In this match, Tella provided an assist for Patrik Schick's second goal, contributing to the team's success.

The 26-year-old Super Eagles star received a commemorative plaque from the club in recognition of his achievement. Tella's journey with Leverkusen has seen highs and setbacks, including being part of the squad that won the Bundesliga title three seasons ago.

Last season, he enjoyed a steady return with four goals and five assists in 39 appearances, but his current campaign has been disrupted by recurring injury issues. Despite speculation regarding a potential loan or sale, Tella's contract runs until 2031, reflecting the club's long-term belief in his abilities.

As Leverkusen sits sixth in the Bundesliga, Tella aims to regain form and contribute to the team's push for a strong finish this season and hopes to secure a regular role in the Nigerian national team setup.
