Fulham ‘in advanced talks’ for Shea Charles as Southampton face what-if | OneFootball

Fulham are in advanced talks to sign Shea Charles from Southampton, potentially drawing a line under a summer-long saga. Leeds United had looked set earlier in the window, and Crystal Palace were among the admirers.

According to Sky Sports Germany, the clubs are resolving final details, with discussions around a €30m fee. The outlet adds a £25m bid has been accepted and personal terms are close.

The Daily Mail reports Southampton had sought £30m, but Charles prefers Premier League football to another Championship promotion push.

Another departure is being lined up, with Jay Robinson reported to be joining AC Monza on loan. The academy product has shown flashes when fit, and Serie A could offer a platform away from his boyhood club.

Should Charles go, Saints retain Flynn Downes and Caspar Jander in midfield, though Jander has also attracted interest. Recruitment plans are likely being assessed.

Hull City look set to sign Tromso’s Jens Hjerto Dahl for around £10m, beating Cardiff City, with some Saints writers having previously suggested him as one to watch. The 20-year-old Norway U21 midfielder has seven Eliteserien goals in 2026 and averages 4.4 duels won, underlining the what-if for the South Coast club.
