Arsenal is seemingly interested in Northern Irish midfielder Shea Charles, who is on loan from Southampton to Sheffield Wednesday and has become the real deal. At 21 years old, he impresses on all counts: leadership, tactical understanding, and technical ability, winning him acclaim both from club and international setups.
Mikel Arteta views Charles as a future investment to improve Arsenal’s midfield depth. He is on the same trajectory with young talents Arsenal is nurturing. However, competition from other clubs and Southampton’s planned intent will make this a tough one to seal.

Arsenal’s interest in Shea Charles states Mikel Arteta’s commitment to building a squad for the future. Charles, on loan at Sheffield Wednesday from Southampton, has shown a mature string of performances in the Championship. The 21-year-old has already captained Northern Ireland and demonstrated qualities so uncommon at his age, the news agency reports.
Those characteristics would signify the perfect match for Mikel Arteta’s philosophy: calmness under pressure, excellent tackling, and intelligent passing. Arsenal view him as a potential long-term successor to midfield stalwarts like Jorginho or even Thomas Partey. However, since Southampton are hot on his heels and more clubs may soon follow suit, Arsenal need to move fast in landing him in their squad.
