Charles, 19, became their number one during the latter stages of last season ahead of Brighton and Hove Albion loanee James Beadle. He is under contract in South Yorkshire until June 2027 so the Owls are under no pressure to sell him just yet and can wait for the right offer to come in for his signature.<\/p>\n

In this latest update regarding his situation, reporter Nixon has claimed on his Patreon<\/a> that Leicester City<\/a> and Southampton<\/a> are keen. They were relegated from the Premier League recently along with Ipswich Town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Star\u2019s Alex Miller has recently delivered his verdict on the player, as per a report by DerbyshireLive<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThe Northern Ireland number one is a goalkeeper of huge potential and has all the skills to make it in the top division. He\u2019s just turned 20 and \u2013 assuming he\u2019s not the made the latest piece of family silver sold off to keep the lights on \u2013 is a player I\u2019d expect to grab some admirers along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u2019s Pierce Charles wanted<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0will hope that\u00a0Charles stays put<\/a>\u00a0for this term at least. SWFC don\u2019t need to cash in on him right now unless an offer that they can\u2019t refuse comes in for his services.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Charles was handed his first professional contract back in October 2022. He has since made 15 first-team appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n

What now for Pierce Charles at\u00a0Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Charles should stay at\u00a0Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0for another 12 months at least. SWFC can offer him regular football which will benefit him at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n

If he left for another team, he may be unlikely to get into a starting XI and could be loaned out due to his tender age. Therefore, he shouldn\u2019t push for a move.<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0start the new campaign with an away trip to\u00a0Leicester City<\/a>. The Foxes were relegated from the top flight last season after finishing in the bottom three with\u00a0Southampton<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ipswich Town<\/a>. They then face\u00a0Bolton Wanderers<\/a>\u00a0in the first round of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n
