Southampton fans have been reacting to the news that Nathan Tella has been nominated for the PL2 Player of the Month.

The 21-year-old has broken in to Ralph Hasenhuttl's first team this season, already appearing five times in the Premier League. However, that has not stopped him appearing in the PL2. In December, he actually only played one game at that level, but in that clash he scored four times against Leicester City - a performance deserving of recognition.

Tella is highly-rated at St. Mary's Stadium, and this is the kind of news that only backs that up. Hasenhuttl will be hoping that he can transfer that form to senior level as his side looks to secure a place in European football ahead of next term.

After the club's official Twitter account relayed the news, the fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.

Let's see what the supporters had to say about Tella below
