The 20-year-old has emerged as a potential target for last season's double winners.
Celtic fans have been keeping a close eye on Southampton transfer activity this summer with the newly-promoted English Premier League side determined to land Matt O'Riley for their return to the top flight.
Who is Shea Charles? Born in Manchester, he joined hometown club Manchester City at the age of just seven and progressed through the youth ranks - playing a key role in the winning Premier League 2 in 2021/22 - to make his debut in the English Premier League as a substitute, replacing Nathan Ake in a defeat to Brentford in the final game of the 2022/23 season. That was his only appearance for the Citizens and he left to join Southampton in a deal that could be worth up to £15million.
Saints boss and former Scotland stopper Russell Martin said of Charles last season: “I know Flynn has played in front of him, but when he has come on from the bench he has had a really good impact on the games. We have really good competition in the midfield. Shea wants to win. He is aggressive and he breaks up play. He will be a really important player for us."
