adminSheffield Wednesday open to selling 20-year-old amid £4million price tag according to journalist Alan Nixon on his Patreon page.
Charles, 20, became the Owls number one during the latter stages of the last campaign ahead of Brighton and Hove Albion loanee James Beadle. He is under contract in South Yorkshire until June 2027 so they are under no pressure to sell him just yet and can wait for a suitable bid to come in for his signature.
In this latest update regarding his situation at Hillsborough by reporter Nixon on his Patreon page, his current club may cash in on him soon but would like him loaned back. West Ham and Strasbourg are said to be keen.
The player is highly-rated by the South Yorkshire outfit. The Star’s Alex Miller has recently delivered his verdict on the player, as per a report by DerbyshireLive: “The Northern Ireland number one is a goalkeeper of huge potential and has all the skills to make it in the top division. He’s just turned 20 and – assuming he’s not the made the latest piece of family silver sold off to keep the lights on – is a player I’d expect to grab some admirers along the way.”
Sheffield Wednesday latest regarding Pierce Charles
Sheffield Wednesday have been without Charles over recent weeks due to injury. SWFC signed Ethan Horvath on loan from Cardiff City to fill the void during his absence.
The Northern Ireland international, who has seven caps under his belt, joined the Owls back in 2021. Prior to his move, he rose up through the academy ranks at Manchester City and was a regular for the Premier League giants at various different youth levels.
Charles was handed his first professional contract back in October 2022. He has since made 15 first-team appearances in all competitions.
What now for Sheffield Wednesday and Pierce Charles?
Sheffield Wednesday won’t want to lose Charles, especially mid-way through a season. SWFC will be able to pick up decent money for his services though.
West Ham would be able to offer him the chance to play in the top flight. Meanwhile, Strasbourg play in Ligue 1 under ex-Hull City manager Liam Rosenior.
The Owls won 2-0 away at Portsmouth this weekend. Barry Bannan and George Brown got their goals at Fratton Park as they secured their first win of this term.
Henrik Pedersen’s side remain in the bottom three with Oxford United and Sheffield United. They are a point from safety.
Sheffield Wednesday are back in Championship action next Saturday as they look to build some momentum now. They face QPR at home.
