The 20-year-old has been demonstrating_track his ability with the Owls, more especially in the Championship – a development that must be soothing to his parent club.
However, Beadle has produced creditable performances, the squad still has another prospect talent in its custody in form of Pierce Charles, a young talent in the position of goalkeeper. Although Charles has only accrued little senior experience at Sheffield Wednesday since joining from Manchester City in 2020, Premier League clubs are interested in him, and may make bids in the next transfer window.
Ruddy’s boy, Charles has had sparingly featured in the games for the Owls, nevertheless, when he did, his performance to Brentford could not be missed, but unfortunately, the game was overturned in penalty shootouts. The speculations ,high pointing him to the Premier League have thrown conversations, but the likes of Patrick McKenna a Sheffield Wednesday Fan Pundit for Football League World are keen to note that he might not be ready to make the jump.
McKenna expressed shock at the thought of Charles joining a Premier League club in January, while acknowledging that he has the potential and development but queried whether he can play in the league now.
