Champions League contenders keen on Sheffield Wednesday starlet
Sheffield Wednesday ‘keeper Pierce Charles continues to draw Premier League interest with an unnamed Champions League contender keen, as per The Star.
Sheffield Wednesday are in an uncertain position as it stands with players and staff waiting to be paid by owner Dejphon Chansiri. This is not the first time this has happened at SWFC and only further emphasises the shortcomings of their owner and chairman Chansiri.
Nonetheless, the football and non-football staff at Hillsborough are tasked with maintaining business as usual. Danny Rohl and co remain focused on on-pitch matters and one storyline emerging late in the season is the emergence of Pierce Charles.
The teenage ‘keeper has long been tipped for a big future and has found chances in the cup, but Charles was handed his first Championship start over James Beadle last week.
The Sheffield Wednesday shot-stopper has been on the radars of Premier League clubs for some time and The Star has detailed how their interest is being maintained.
They report that top-flight scouts were in attendance as Charles started for Northern Ireland against Switzerland and Sweden over the international break.
One of the unnamed admirers of the SWFC prospect is a side chasing a Champions League spot as the end of the campaign approaches.
A top Sheffield Wednesday talent
As said before, Charles has been touted as a big talent for some time. He’s been among the highest rated Sheffield Wednesday prospects ever since signing upon his departure from the Manchester City academy in 2020.
After a season-and-a-half of Brighton loanee Beadle locking down the starting spot, Charles is now getting his chance to claim the number one shirt in the Championship. Rohl won’t hesitate to flick between the two but the 19-year-old certainly seems to have the upper hand as it stands.
