Rangers see transfer bid for target rejected as club insiders left 'baffled' at Ibrox offer knockback
Rangers have reportedly had a bid rejected for Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles.
And it's the decision is said to have BAFFLED insiders at the cash-strapped Championship club.
Russell Martin has already swooped on the Owls by landing flying machine Djeidi Gassama earlier this summer.
Gassama has been an instant hit at Ibrox, netting four goals in the Champions League to move Gers within touching distance of the playoffs.
Keeper Jack Butland has also been instrumental in helping Gers negotiate tough ties against Panathinakos and Viktoria Plzen.
But according to the Telegraph, the Light Blues are in the market for another shotstopper.
It's claimed that Hillsborough chiefs have knocked back £1million-plus bids from both Rangers and West Ham for highly-rated Charles.
Financially-stricken Wednesday are struggling for cash and wages for players and staff have been late four months out of five.
Controversial owner Dejphon Chansiri is under pressure to sell the club but has thrown out multiple offers for 20-year-old Charles.
It remains to be seen whether Rangers or the Hammers will return to the negotiating table with an improved bid.
Northern Ireland international Charles has enjoyed a rapid rise to stardom at Hillsborough and is under contract for another two years.

Gianluigi Donnarumma 'very keen' to join Chelsea or another Premier League club
Gianluigi Donnarumma is 'very interested' in joining two Premier League clubs after effectively being banished by PSG. The 26-year-old, a Champions League and Euros winner, was left out of PSG's squad for Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham. Donnarumma did not travel with his teammates to Udine, with new PSG signing Lucas Chevalier and back-up goalkeeper Renato Martin instead picked by Luis Enrique. Enrique later confirmed his decision was down to looking for a 'different profile' of goalkeeper, essentially ending Donnarumma's highly successful PSG career. 'I am supported by my club and we are trying to find the best solution,' Enrique said prior to PSG's penalty shootout win over Spurs. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. 'It is a difficult decision. I only have praise for Donnarumma. He is one of the very best goalkeepers out there and an even better man. 'But we were looking for a different profile. It's very difficult to take these types of decisions.' Donnarumma was expected to sign a new contract with the French champions earlier in the summer but failed to agree a deal. With his current deal set to expire next summer, PSG have taken the decision to cash in on the Italian in this transfer window. In an emotional statement to the 'special' PSG fans, Donnarumma said he was 'disappointed and disheartened' to be exiled. 'I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done,' he added. 'If that doesn't happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it.' The shot-stopper's agent, Enzo Raiola, then hit out at PSG for showing 'zero respect' to a player who has starred in four Ligue 1 title wins and of course last season's Champions League victory. Raiola also hinted at a Premier League move for Donnarumma, saying: 'We will consider solutions now, maybe in the Premier League there will be clubs able to pay what's needed. 'The Premier League would be the right step in my view and we're working on it. There are no talks with Italian clubs.' Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with moves since the PSG bombshell. According to Italian journalist Aurelio Capaldi, speaking on The Transfers Podcast, Donnarumma is 'very interested' in joining Man City or Chelsea. It is claimed Donnarumma is 'fascinated' by Pep Guardiola and would love to play under the legendary manager, but that he also likes the idea of living in London and appreciates Chelsea. Man City do appear to have genuine interest in Donnarumma but both Man United and Chelsea are briefing that they will not be making moves. That would come as a surprise given Andre Onana and Robert Sanchez, the current number ones at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge, have received widespread criticism. United have prioritised attacking signings this summer, spending almost £200m on Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. As a new goalkeeper has not joined Ruben Amorim's squad, Onana is set to start United's Premier League opener against Arsenal on Sunday. Chelsea, meanwhile, were interested in signing a new shot-stopper earlier in the summer but have seemingly changed their mind since failing to land Mike Maignan. More Trending Manchester City have expressed interest in signing Donnarumma as Turkish champions Galatasaray eye up a move for Ederson. Brazil international Ederson has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world over the past decade but he appeared to be on the decline last season. Man City re-signed James Trafford from Burnley last month to compete with and potentially replace Ederson but have still not ruled out a deal for Donnarumma. PSG begin their Ligue 1 title defence against Nantes on Sunday but Donnarumma will not be involved as he searches for a new club. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

'I played with Viktor Gyokeres - he's not worth £64m and will flop at Arsenal'
A former teammate of Viktor Gyokeres believes he will struggle at Arsenal and says he 'never had him down to be a £64m striker'. Mikel Arteta was desperate to sign a new striker this summer and has put his faith in former Sporting hitman Gyokeres. Gyokeres enjoyed two sensational seasons in Portugal, scoring 97 goals in 102 games and winning back-to-back league titles. Before his productive spell at Sporting, Gyokeres played for three EFL clubs – Coventry City, Swansea City and Brighton. Brighton signed the forward from Swedish minnows Brommapojkarna in 2018 but Gyokeres only made three first-team appearances for the Seagulls before being sold three years later. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. It was at Coventry that things started to click for Gyokeres, who scored 38 goals in 91 matches in the Championship to earn a £20m move to Sporting. During his three-year spell at Brighton, Gyokeres was sent out on three separate loan deals as he failed to convince the club – and clearly his teammates – of his potential. Former Premier League striker Glenn Murray was at Brighton the same time as Gyokeres and says he 'never had him down to be a £64m striker'. Murray fears Gyokeres is 'not the one' and will struggle to make the grade at Arsenal, who have aspirations of winning the Premier League this season. The former Crystal Palace and Bournemouth star says that while he instantly recognised Arsenal defender Ben White as a superior player at Brighton, he was unimpressed by Gyokeres. 'I don't think Viktor Gyokeres is the one – it's such a big step,' Murray, 41, told BBC Sport. 'I was with him at Brighton and I never had him down to be a £64m striker. 'When Ben White stepped into our first team, right away everyone knew how he good he was – he was of that standard. 'When Viktor came in, it was more a case where you thought he was all right. I am not sure he suits Arsenal's style, either.' Arteta has been in desperate need of a new striker for well over a year and considered new Manchester United signing Benjamin Sesko before Arsenal focused on Gyokeres. The 27-year-old scored his first Arsenal goal in the pre-season friendly against Athletic Bilbao last week and is set to make his Premier League debut at Old Trafford on Sunday. Viktor Gyokeres has widely been described as the final piece of the jigsaw for an Arsenal side that have come agonisingly close to winning the Premier League. But the same was said about Romelu Lukaku upon his return to Chelsea in 2021 and we know how that worked out. Gyokeres' stats for Sporting were incredible but Darwin Nunez enjoyed similar success in Portugal before underwhelming in the Premier League. It's taken a fair while for Gyokeres, 27, to earn a move to one of Europe's top five leagues. This time two years ago, in fact, he had just spent his fourth successive season in the Championship, scoring a respectable but far from remarkable 21 goals in 46 games. He's an upgrade on Kai Havertz but don't expect mind-blowing returns from a player who has been branded a 'gamble' by the likes of Paul Scholes and Gary Lineker. 'I don't think he's the guy,' Rio Ferdinand even said shortly after his £64m move to north London was announced. Mikel Arteta doesn't get too many signings wrong but it was him, remember, who pushed to sign Raheem Sterling last summer. Arsenal were torn between signing Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko earlier in the summer. Time will tell if they made the right decision. Louis Sealey, Metro Deputy Sports Editor Assessing Gyokeres' performance against Bilbao, Arteta said: 'He pins both centre backs. He is a player that the moment you leave him with space one-on-one, he is going to destroy you. 'He's going to create a lot of space for us as well. In any moment or situation, he is a player that can score a goal. 'That first goal is always very important and the way he took it as well, was really, really good.' But Murray is not the only pundit to have concerns about Gyokeres, with ex-Arsenal defender William Gallas suggesting it could take him a while to 'adapt' to the Premier League. More Trending 'Will Viktor Gyokeres be able to adapt straight away? Personally, I don't think so,' Gallas said. 'It doesn't mean it's not a good player, but when players come from abroad we usually see that it takes time. 'Strikers often take time, playing in Portugal is also completely different to playing in England, but Arsenal do need him to adapt straight away because their target is to win the Premier League. 'If I could've chosen between Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, I think Isak would've been a better option. We know he is proven in the Premier League and that he is 100% at the level.'

‘Rangers fans will hate me' – David Martindale reveals how he once helped European opponents ahead of clash with Gers
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DAVIE MARTINDALE helped Ruben Amorim prepare for big European clashes with Rangers and Aberdeen. But he joked the Portuguese boss has forgotten who he is now he's in the big time with Man Utd. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 David Martindale gave Ruben Amorim a helping hand Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 The gaffer faced two Scottish oppositions previously Credit: Getty The Livi gaffer did his coaching badges in Northern Ireland with Amorim and West Ham number two Bruno Saltor. Martindale helped the Old Trafford boss get ready for facing the Gers while standing in at Braga and then sent him Livi's prep notes when Sporting Lisbon faced Aberdeen six months later. He revealed: 'I did my coaching badges with Ruben Amorim and Bruno Saltor, who is at West Ham now, so I know them both fairly well. 'We did it with the IFA and it just so happened that when I was getting up they were kicking about for breakfast too, so we used to sit together. 'It was a two-week intensive course doing the B and A licences, the year before Covid. 'Ruben was the manager of the Braga B team then the manager of the first-team got sacked, so he stepped in. 'He phoned me right after it because they got Rangers in Europe and asked what I could tell him about them. 'He wasn't able to sit in the dugout because we hadn't finished the whole course by then so they had to put an old guy who had his pro-licence there instead. 'Ruben wasn't allowed to take the team so he stayed away from it, I think he sat in the stand or stood behind the dugouts. 'Rangers fans will hate me, but I sent him our stuff because we'd just played Rangers. That's what happens in football, everyone helps each other out. I'm not going into my work relegated, says defiant Livingston boss David Martindale as they're left TEN points adrift 'Rangers beat them anyway - I think those were the only defeats he had as Braga manager in 12 or 14 games. 'On the back of that he got the Sporting Lisbon job - and in his first season he drew Aberdeen! 'I had him on the phone again asking me for my stuff on Aberdeen because we'd just played them before as well. 'I got my 'fit and proper' stuff through and Ruben messaged me 'great Davie, I'm delighted for you'. 'Fast forward to last season and he gets the Man United job so I messaged him to say well done, congratulations. 'I'm still waiting for him to text me back!! 'I keep checking my phone but it's never come through! 'It's brilliant he's got that job and I think with Ineos getting the structures there sorted, it'll be a great fit long-term.' Martindale keeps in touch with Saltor and revealed he even tried to get the ex-Brighton star to come out of retirement and sign for Livi. Celtic fans utterly baffled as David Martindale gets Hoops star confused with Man City hero in TV interview He said: 'Bruno was a great guy as well, he had just retired at Brighton when Graham Potter and Billy Reid went in there. 'So, me being Scottish, he reckoned I must have known Billy, which I didn't! 'I actually wanted to sign Bruno for Livingston. We did a few wee drills when we were on the courses and you're in them. 'I remember looking at him thinking he'd stroll it playing for us. He was 36 or something at that time. 'I asked him if he wanted to come here but he just laughed at me! 'I'm pretty sure I offered him a coaching job here as well, but he was in at Brighton and since then he's worked at Chelsea and now West Ham. 'We had a good group, we had Luis Garcia, Chris Samba, Gabby Agbonlahor, Craig Gardner and a few others. 'Covid happened during it so it ended up taking us longer to do it than it usually would have. 3 Amorim in the dugout when facing Rangers in 2020 Credit: Reuters 'On the Pro-Licence I had Antoine Sibierski and I got him up here to work with the lads but it makes you remember your age. 'I was telling the boys 'it's Sibierski, he played for Man City and Newcastle' but they had no idea. 'So I had to tell them he'd have had loads of French caps if it wasn't for Zidane! 'Meeting these people is what it's all about. He's at Troyes now, director of football there and we keep in touch. 'I really enjoyed doing them, it was difficult when you're in a job because of the time involved, but it's a great way to meet people and network. 'You keep in touch with the people in your group, everyone who does it is the same. 'This year is the first year I've not had the distraction of not having one to do because I've got all the badges now and I have to admit, I'm missing it. 'I hope they bring out another one, maybe an Advanced Pro-Licence or something. If they do, I'll sign up for it.'
