West Ham United are looking to bring in the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper, Pierce Charles, this summer.
According to a report from The Star, West Ham are now preparing an offer to sign the goalkeeper. It will be interesting to see if Sheffield Wednesday are prepared to sell him. They are going through financial troubles, and they could be under pressure to cash in on the player if there is a suitable offer on the table.
The Northern Ireland International is a talented player with a bright future, and he could prove to be a solid acquisition for West Ham. They need more quality and depth in the goalkeeping unit. The 20-year-old is highly rated across the country, and he has the potential to develop into a reliable performer in the Premier League.
The opportunity to move to West Ham could be attractive for the player as well. He has two years left on his current contract with Sheffield Wednesday and the English club from the second year. Sheffield Wednesday could consider selling him for the right price. His value will plummet next season when he enters the final year of his deal. This could be the right time for Sheffield Wednesday to cash in on the youngster and boost their finances.
West Ham are unlikely to find it difficult to convince Charles to join the club. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. Ample exposure in the Premier League could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential.
West Ham need to improve their squad, and signing the talented young player will be a wise decision for them. He would be a long-term investment, and he could develop into a star for the club with the right guidance.
