Multiple sources have confirmed that West Ham have officially submitted a bid for Pierce Charles. The offer for the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper had been speculated for a number of weeks, but represents the first concrete bid for the player. While negotiations continue, they are said to be progressing. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Southampton and Leicester decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. This season (25/26) West Ham have shipped 14 goals in 6 matches - 2.33 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Pierce Charles would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. No fresh speculation surrounds Sheffield Wednesday or West Ham regarding other transfer targets.
