Rangers 'want' another EFL star amid 'best in the world' verdict

Rangers are reportedly set to go after ANOTHER Sheffield Wednesday player.

Reports south of the border claim Pierce Charles is being monitored by the Ibrox club.

The Northern Ireland international is said to be on a shortlist of goalkeepers Rangers are looking at.

Russell Martin has made it no secret that it's an area of his squad that he's looking to strengthen ahead of the start of the 2025/26 campaign.

It looked like a loan swoop for Brighton's Carl Rushworth would be the answer; however, that won't be happening. 

So, attention has seemingly turned to Charles, who made 13 appearances for Wednesday last season and still has two years remaining on his contract.

He's the brother of Southampton star Shea Charles.

The teenager certainly made an impression on Josh Windass, with whom he played at Hillsborough. 

He recently told Open Goal: "He's the best player in the world. He's 19.

"If he doesn't play for Barca, Juventus, Bayern, – one of those teams – I'll be flabbergasted."

Martin has already raided the Owls this summer, with the £2.2m acquisition of Djeidi Gassama.
