Sheffield United, Stoke City, and West Brom are all vying for the signature of Leicester City’s Tom Cannon. The 21-year-old striker has caught the attention of Chris Wilder, who is eager to secure his services after losing Oli McBurnie. However, Cannon’s availability has also attracted interest from West Brom and Stoke City, both of whom are considering a loan deal for the talented forward.
Despite his lack of appearances for Leicester since joining from Preston a year ago, Cannon has impressed Baggies chiefs, who believe he has the potential to make a significant impact at the club. Stoke City, on the other hand, may have an advantage in the race for Cannon if they are willing to cover a larger portion of his wages.
However, the decision ultimately lies with Cannon himself, as he is eager to secure regular playing time. Sheffield United will need to convince him that he will be given the opportunity to start regularly if he chooses to join them. It remains to be seen which club will emerge as the frontrunner in this three-way battle.
In a surprise twist, Leicester City may also be making a move in the transfer market. The Foxes are reportedly considering a shock move for Crystal Palace’s Jordan Ayew. The Ghanaian forward, who is also attracting interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, has been a key player for Palace since his move from Swansea in 2018.
Ayew’s contributions to Palace have been significant, with 23 goals and 22 assists in 211 appearances. His versatility and experience make him an attractive option for Leicester, who are looking to bolster their attacking options. However, they will face competition from both domestic and international clubs for Ayew’s signature.
Leicester now faces a decision on whether to let Cannon go this summer, potentially opening up a spot in their squad for a new arrival such as Ayew. The transfer window promises to be an exciting time for all parties involved, as clubs scramble to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
