Young Southampton attacker Nathan Tella has revealed the influence of Theo Walcott on his short career as a professional footballer. Theo Walcott has been a role model for Tella since returning to play for the Saints last summer.
Tella talked about Theo Walcott and how influential he has been for his career in an exclusive interview with the Daily Echo. The 21-year-old told the media outlet that he was happy to provide an assist for Theo Walcott in the win over already-relegated Fulhamin the Premier League last month. According to him, Walcott has really helped him so much.
On his first Premier League goal, the Saints player said that a childhood dream was fulfilled when he found the back of the net against the West London team.
