Fulham Reach Agreement to Sign Shea Charles from Southampton

Fulham has reached an agreement with Southampton to sign Northern Irish midfielder Shea Charles during the current summer transfer window, in a deal worth approximately £30 million, according to the latest reports.

Fulham had entered advanced negotiations with Southampton in recent days, as the London club showed strong interest in signing the player, before the negotiations successfully reached an agreement between the two parties.

The agreement puts an end to the competition from several clubs for Charles's services, notably Leeds United and Crystal Palace. Southampton had previously rejected earlier offers for the player, holding firm on their high financial valuation.

Charles, 22, had a standout season with Southampton, featuring in 38 matches during the 2025-2026 season, where he scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists, catching the attention of Premier League clubs.

Fulham is set to finalize the final procedures for the transfer in the coming period, with the player to undergo medical examinations before signing contracts and the official announcement of his transfer, making Charles one of the key reinforcements for the team during the summer transfer window.
