SAINTS midfielder Shea Charles is reportedly drawing interest from two Premier League sides and a Seria A club.

Charles, 21, has enjoyed a productive first half of the season on loan at Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday.

The Northern Ireland international is playing regularly for the Owls under former Saints assistant Danny Rohl, who has praised Charles.

Mail Sport report that West Ham, Leicester City and Atalanta have all shown an interest in signing the young midfielder.

Charles will remain on loan at Sheffield Wednesday until the end of the season unless Saints act on their clause to recall him.

Charles has scored one goal and provided four assists in 21 games for Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship and became Northern Ireland's youngest captain earlier this season.

He joined Southampton from Manchester City's academy on a four-year deal in 2023 and was brought to the club with a long-term plan in mind.
