Bundesliga champion Nathan Tella insists that Bayer Leverkusen will comfortably finish top 6 in the Premier League

I'd like to say we'd finish in the top 6 because we were that good. Nathan Tella told Rising Ballers

The attacking midfielder played a total of 39 games for his club last season, and only tasted defeat in one – the Europa League final. Fans have contrasting opinions in response to Tella’s claim.

While a few argued that the Premier League isn’t as competitive as it used to be, others claim that Leverkusen are no match for the best English clubs.

A closer look at Bayer Leverkusen’s signings for the new season

After an extremely successful season that shook the entirety of Europe, Xabi Alonso’s men are ready for more. It isn’t difficult to understand that the signings made ahead of the 2023/24 season played a huge role in facilitating Leverkusen’s success. From Alejandro Grimaldo to Victor Boniface and Granit Xhaka , the list goes on.

The situation is no different in 2024, where the club have announced more than 3 major signings well ahead of the new campaign. Aleix Garcia , Jeanuel Belocian and Martin Terrier have all been unveiled as new players under Xabi Alonso. The arrival of 19-year-old Belocian not only reduces the squad average but also offers Alonso the opportunity to rotate his center-backs.

Even though Leverkusen have no issues worth fixing in midfield, the addition of Spaniard Aleix Garcia is a sign of hunger to get better and a silent announcement that the club are aiming for the next level. After ending Bayern’s dominance in the Bundesliga, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if they recreate their magical run in the Champions League next season.
