Shea Charles Poised for Staggering valuation, EFL Expert predicts
Shea Charles, teh young midfielder currently plying his trade for Southampton, is on a trajectory that could see him command a transfer fee in the region of £50-£60 million within the next one to two years, according to Football League pundit Ali Maxwell.
Maxwell,speaking on the “Not The top 20” podcast,expressed strong confidence in the former Manchester City academy player’s potential. “I think he’ll be the standout central midfielder in the Championship this season,” Maxwell stated. “I’m actually so bullish on Shea Charles that, without wanting to over exaggerate, I would say he’s one, maybe two seasons away from being considered a £50 – £60 million player.”
The pundit highlighted Charles’s well-rounded game, noting his proficiency in various aspects of midfield play. “He is a player with so few weaknesses. when it comes to interceptions, key passes, tackles… He covers so much ground. He’s physically impeccable for a 21-year-old. And, on the ball as well, just divine,” Maxwell elaborated, underscoring the midfielder’s athleticism and technical ability.
charles is reportedly on the radar of Chelsea manager Graham Potter, who is also interested in Southampton teammate Mateus Fernandes. Both players are described as athletic, ball-carrying midfielders.
The assessment from Maxwell suggests that Southampton could be in line to secure a significant profit on Charles, should his development continue at its current pace. The EFL expert’s glowing review positions Charles as one of the most promising talents in the English Football League.
