#PLStories- Southampton not considering Nathan Tella recall from Burnley #SAINTSFC

EXCITING attacker Nathan Tella is set to stay with Burnley for the remainder of his season-long loan spell after Saints boss Nathan Jones stated the club is not looking to recall the 23-year-old. Tella has enjoyed a productive Championship campaign, scoring nine times as Burnley cruise toward automatic promotion. But despite his impressive form and Saints’ need for additional attacking firepower, Jones does not feel that recalling Tella is the right move for all parties.

He's having a real good experience and he is flying.  “But with the greatest of respect, for him to come back and do that at Premier League level, we are not sure. We've got people like Adam Armstrong who have been prolific at Championship level. So we've got good competition in that area.  “What we would like is something a little bit different in terms of maybe size, maybe real aggression. Nathan is doing fantastic under Vincent (Kompany) and is having a wonderful season for his development.  “At the end of the season, there's is a big decision to make. But it's been a really productive loan for him and it is in his benefit to stay there.” Jones has made no secret of his desire to add increased potency to his attack as Saints enter the final ten days of the January transfer window.
