According to Team Talk, Coventry City is interested in signing Pierce Charles, a 20-year-old goalkeeper from Sheffield Wednesday. Coventry City is interested in the goalkeeper as they prepare for the expected departure of their loan keeper, Carl Rushworth. However, Coventry faces competition for the Northern Ireland international, as Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United, and Newcastle United have all monitored him. It has also been revealed that Manchester City is exploring a move to bring their former academy player back to the club. Additionally, sources indicate the BlueCo ownership group is considering a move for Charles with the intention of placing him at Strasbourg. Charles is under contract until 2027, but Sheffield Wednesday is expected to sell him this summer. The goalkeeper joined Wednesday in July 2024, has made 15 appearances in the Championship this season, and has earned 10 caps for Northern Ireland. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €500k. Reports in April 2026 suggested Sheffield Wednesday would require a 'significant six-figure fee plus add-ons' for the player. In mid-2025, the club reportedly rejected bids of '£1 million-plus' from both Rangers and West Ham United.
