Rangers transfer target Pierce Charles has been told that the “sky is the limit” – with an exit from Sheffield Wednesday this summer looking increasingly likely.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old goalkeeper is into the final 12 months of his contract with the Owls and is on a list of potential options for Gers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Light Blues are in talks with back-up keeper Liam Kelly<\/a> over a new deal but would need extra competition between the sticks if they were to receive any surprising interest in no.1 Jack Butland.<\/p>\n

Northern Ireland international Charles worked under Danny Rohl <\/a>at Hillsborough last season and has been a shining light an otherwise dismal campaign for cash-strapped Wednesday, making 18 appearances in the English Championship.<\/p>\n

And with the club’s relegation to EFL League One already confirmed, fellow goalkeeper Murphy Cooper – who joined the Owls on loan from Queens Park Rangers in January – reckons the ‘best’ shot-stopper in the English second tier is destined to play at the highest level.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Star<\/a>, he said: “Oh, yes, I think the sky’s his limit, really. It’s crazy because you look at Pierce and the way he plays and the way he trains and the way he carries himself around the building. He’s 20.<\/p>\n

“In my opinion, he is probably the best goalkeeper in the Championship at 20. A lot of goalies don’t play League Two, League One at 20, and he’s performing week-in, week-out with really good performances.<\/p>\n

“So, yes, with all his strengths and all his capabilities I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if he went all the way.<\/p>\n

“That’s one of the things I heard about Pierce because I played with a few lads that play with him internationally and they were like, \u2018With the ball at his feet, he is an absolute joke\u2019.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I’ve seen that now. But some of the saves he makes are just ridiculous as well. So I think he’s very well-rounded. I know a lot of goalkeepers are good at keeping goal, are not the best with their feet or vice versa, but I think he’s got it all.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder admits the club will be willing to listen to suitable offers for Tyrese Campbell – with the striker back on Rangers and Celtic’s radar.<\/p>\n

We revealed last month that both sides of the Old Firm could rekindle their interest in the former England youth international in the summer <\/a>when Campbell enters the final year of his contract.<\/p>\n

Campbell has scored 17 times in 72 matches for the club but last month picked up a knee injury that will keep him out of action for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

The Blades reached the Championship play-offs last year but have fallen away off the pace in the current campaign to slump to 13th place with two games remaining.<\/p>\n

And having been given cash to spend last summer, Bramall Lane boss Wilder concedes that they may have to raise some funds to counter those investments. He said: “I\u2019s the same as it always is. If we have to sell a player or two, then we will do. As long as we don\u2019t give them away. That\u2019s my take on it.<\/p>\n

“If we have to raise money, we have to raise money. The owners put a lot of money into buying the football club and they put a lot of money in in terms of the investment at the start of the season as well.<\/p>\n

“And if that\u2019s the case, that\u2019s the case. I\u2019m OK with that but we can\u2019t develop these players and just let them go for nothing. We can\u2019t buy players and let them go cheaply, or not at the right price for us.<\/p>\n

“But the majority of clubs in this division are at the stage where we have to recuperate. You\u2019ve all seen the numbers, , you\u2019ve all seen how difficult it is in the Championship with the salary cost management or whatever the letters stand for.<\/p>\n

“So, I work in tandem with Steve Bettis and work in tandem with the owners to do what\u2019s right for the football club in the short, medium and long term.<\/p>\n

But, we\u2019re hopeful that we keep the majority of our players. But if we have to sell and the price is right, we\u2019ll do that and carry on from that point.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gers are among a number of clubs who are very keen on the Northern Ireland shot-stopper 20:45, 21…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":543984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[18667,86566,82543,218,21117,159196,2720,8058,10375,101,2719,187365,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-543983","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-celtic-transfer-news","9":"tag-danny-rohl","10":"tag-english-football-league","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-jack-butland","13":"tag-liam-kelly","14":"tag-rangers-fc-transfer-news","15":"tag-scottish-premiership","16":"tag-sheffield-united-fc","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-transfer-talk","19":"tag-tyrese-campbell","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom","22":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/543984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
