Leicester City forward Tom Cannon could leave the club this coming week before Friday night’s transfer window deadline – and reports have emerged suggesting that the Foxes would be open to parting with the youngster on a permanent basis if an appropriate offer presented itself. Cannon, 21, only signed from Everton last summer on a five-year deal in a transfer worth in the region of £7m, but he started only three Championship matches last season under Enzo Maresca and mostly found himself behind Jamie Vardy , Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho in the pecking order.
The Irish international, who scored three times last year – including a brace in the home win over Huddersfield Town – has plenty of sides in the Championship keeping an eye on him including Sheffield United and Stoke City. Steve Cooper has indicated he’d like to add further.
Steve Cooper said “I feel you want to improve any position, I really believe in the guys who are here. They have to get each other’s undivided attention, they have to get my undivided attention. If that looks a little bit different and it means we are a stronger squad, any manager would want that. I’ve been very clear about what I think it takes to do well this year, but what I can’t do is not give everything to every player who comes into the training ground. That’s our job.”
