Tella endured a frustrating campaign last term, as he had to deal with three different injuries that kept him out for almost 30 games.

Reflecting on his injury setbacks last season, he added:“I feel good. I had a restful summer break and was able to become fully fit again.
“The period was naturally very frustrating for me, but I want to take that feeling and turn it into something positive.”
