On long-term talent our Rating reads 70. At 22 Charles is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30.8 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Southampton finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 70.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
