Why have City signed and loaned out Charles?
[Getty Images] Manchester City announced the £3m signing of goalkeeper Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday before immediately sending him out on a season-long loan to Championship club Queens Park Rangers. The 20-year-old has signed a five-year deal and returns to City having come through the academy at the club before joining Wednesday in 2021. Charles made 36 senior appearances for the Owls and has also won 12 caps for Northern Ireland. The deal is seen as a long-term signing and City sources have said Charles has been brought back as he fits in with the club's style of play in being a ball-playing goalkeeper. The plan is for him to focus on his spell at QPR for the forthcoming season in order to develop and City will assess his progress next summer.
