Sheffield Wednesday's Northern Ireland international goalkeeper Pierce Charles is described as a perfect candidate for Celtic, which will require a goalkeeper in the summer as Kasper Schmeichel is expected to leave on a free transfer. It is suggested that Celtic should attempt to sign the 20-year-old ahead of other interested clubs.
Charles has also been linked with Rangers, where he could reunite with his former manager Danny Rohl. His contract runs until 2027, and following the Owls' relegation to League One, he is considered a key asset that the club could sell for a fee. For Celtic, he would be a safer, long-term option who could compete with Viljami Sinisalo and could potentially be sold for a significant profit if he performs well at Parkhead. The goalkeeper has 10 caps for his country, joined the club in July 2024 and made 13 league appearances this season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €500k.
