Transfer speculation continues to mount as Pierce Charles has been linked in recent days with a move to Southampton. The goalkeeper, currently playing for Sheffield Wednesday, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. Leicester and West Ham may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. So far in this season, Southampton are conceding 1.38 goals a game (11 in 8), more than they'd like compared to the Championship standard. The hope is Pierce Charles adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Southampton have recently been linked with Terry Taylor and Ethan Wheatley while Sheffield Wednesday have had no rumoured targets. More on this story as it develops.
