Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest, and Leeds United are reportedly eyeing Bayer Leverkusen winger Nathan Tella.
TBR Football reported that scouts from the three English clubs were present at Stamford Bridge on Friday night to watch Chelsea’s pre-season victory over Leverkusen.
Brentford and Burnley also had representatives in attendance.
Tella, 26, is said to be open to a return to England, having previously impressed with Southampton and Burnley.
The winger joined Southampton from Arsenal in 2017, making 44 senior appearances over three years.
His standout spell came on loan at Burnley during the 2022/23 campaign, where he played a key role in Vincent Kompany’s side topping the Championship with a record 101 points.
In 2023, Tella made the switch to Bayer Leverkusen, enjoying immediate success by lifting the Bundesliga title in his debut season.
