Burnley have signed Southampton striker Nathan Tella on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old, who came through the ranks at Arsenal, has made 40 appearances for the Saints, including 33 in the Premier League.

"Once the opportunity arose for me to come here, this is where my head has been at since," Tella told Burnley's website.

"I've been wanting to play football consistently for a while now and now the opportunity has come up here, it's one I'm just happy to have."

Boss Vincent Kompany added: "We're pleased to add Nathan to our team. He's a hard-working player, who carries a great threat going forward with his attacking pace.

"I have no doubt that Nathan will fit in fine here and help improve our squad. We would like to thank Southampton for making this possible and we look forward to working with him."
