Manchester City teen makes Premier League debut amid claims Newcastle United want to sign him
Newcastle United target Shea Charles enjoyed a fine end to the season as he made his Manchester City debut.
City headed to Brentford on the final day of the Premier League season with nothing riding on the game.
Pep Guardiola’s men had already wrapped up the Premier League title and didn’t need a result in West London.
It’s just as well really; Brentford frustrated City and claimed a 1-0 win thanks to Ethan Pinnock’s second-half goal.
This wasn’t City’s greatest display but nobody will really care if Guardiola completes a treble in the coming weeks.
There was a great moment for one City player during Sunday’s defeat though.
Youngster Shea Charles was brought off the bench for his Premier League debut and his first ever City game.
The 19-year-old was born in Manchester and has come up through the City ranks, so this was a really special day.
Charles will be buzzing today but there is a real chance that this will be his first and final City appearance…
Newcastle United want to sign Shea Charles
Charles finds himself a man in demand heading into the summer.
The Daily Mail reported in April that Newcastle United, Leeds United, Brentford and Borussia Dortmund all want Charles.
The 19-year-old has featured 26 times in Premier League 2 this season and has even picked up six caps for Northern Ireland.
A defensive midfielder who can also drop into defence, Charles appears to have a big future ahead of him.
Breaking into the City team isn’t easy though and one substitute appearance on the final day may not be enough to convince him of a future at the Etihad Stadium.
Leeds suffering relegation makes their attempts to sign Charles a little trickier, but Newcastle will be primed and ready to strike if he wants to leave City.
