Shea Charles says he does not dwell on record-breaking transfer fee

Fulham midfielder Shea Charles has told BBC Sport NI that he does not spend much time thinking about the price tag attached to his transfer, after he became Northern Ireland's most expensive footballer when he moved to the Premier League club from Southampton.

Charles' transfer to Fulham marked a significant milestone for a player from Northern Ireland, setting a new benchmark for the highest transfer fee involving a Northern Irish footballer.

Despite the scale of the fee and the attention it has drawn, Charles indicated that he prefers to focus on his performances on the pitch rather than the financial figures associated with his move.

The midfielder's transfer to a Premier League club represents a step up in level of competition, as he looks to establish himself in one of the most closely watched leagues in world football.

Charles' progress at Fulham is likely to continue to be closely followed, both by fans of the club and those following the development of Northern Irish players on the international stage.
