The 33-cap Northern Ireland international has established himself as one of the best players in the Championship and it’s understood that he’s now valued at around £20m.
The defensive midfielder scored the winner in Southampton’s FA Cup win against Arsenal last week, which has alerted the likes of Manchester United and Rangers, too.
Charles only has one year left on his deal on the South Coast, so this summer would be the final chance for Southampton to cash in on his signature for a decent fee.
That gives Everton the power in any forthcoming negotiations.
