The 20 year old has been linked with interest from Scottish giants Celtic on a loan or with an option to buy him permanently. Former Manchester City youth captain Charles has played in every pre-season match for Martin this season as backup to Flynn Downes. Celtic reportedly could make a separate move for Charles or use the Northern Ireland international as a makeweight in a Matt O'Riley deal. So, yeah, we will bring some people in and assess the situation - but Shea was good tonight (against Oxford United)." Midfielder Charles played 60 minutes in Southampton's 2-0 defeat at Oxford United in their fourth pre-season friendly of summer.
