West Ham United hope to take advantage of the financial chaos at Sheffield Wednesday by prising Northern Ireland goalkeeper Pierce Charles away from the EFL Championship club.<\/p>\n

Several key players have left the Hillsborough club in recent days with club owners keen to reduce the wage bill.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understood that the club hierarchy are keen to retain Charles as his value is expected to grow exponentially in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n

However, desperate times may call for desperate measures, and Premier League West Ham are monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n

Glasgow giants Rangers are also keen on Charles. The Ibrox club\u2019s goalkeeping coach Sal Bibbo spent two years in a similar position at Wednesday. Bibbo \u2013 who played four games for Ards during the 1995\/96 season \u2013 is a fan of the 20 year-old shot stopper.<\/p>\n

Charles has played eight times for Northern Ireland and is likely to be Michael O\u2019Neill\u2019s starting goalkeeper for the forthcoming World Cup Qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n

Pierce\u2019s older brother Shea Charles has 27 caps for Northern Ireland and remains on the books of Southampton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles West Ham United hope to take advantage of the financial chaos at Sheffield…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,58911,101,1946,1620,16,15,11846],"class_list":{"0":"post-305953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-keith-bailie","12":"tag-premier-league","13":"tag-rangers-fc","14":"tag-sheffield","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-west-ham-united-fc"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114946531027982481","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
