Leeds move for Shea Charles edges closer as Southampton hold firm | OneFootball

Southampton appear to be fighting to keep Shea Charles this summer, with Leeds United keen and a 30m offer said to be on the table. Talks are understood to be ongoing and the South Coast club want more.

The Daily Mail has previously reported that Southampton value the 22-year-old around the 30m mark, a figure that could deter suitors.

Charles has only one Premier League appearance, earned while at Manchester City. Since leaving, he has built his career in the EFL, including a loan at Sheffield Wednesday across three second-tier campaigns.

He could become a classy Premier League performer under Daniel Farke if a deal is struck. He averaged 4.7 duels won last season, combining poise with bite.

Southampton are likely to drive a hard bargain rather than lose one of their standout performers cheaply. The club have been here before with promising talents, and any agreement would be on their terms.
