Scout report

Squad depthCreative Winger

N. Tella is a 27-year-old winger at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 55.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 35th of 84 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.4 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tella.

Judged on this season alone, Tella graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 5 of the 5 wingers in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal and 4 assists in 17 appearances (0.504 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, top 40% of the 5 wingers in the Bundesliga. At 27 Tella is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.3 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 17 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.4 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.8, Tella carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Bundesliga of 5 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
