Leicester’s Tom Cannon sparks three-club battle as Sheffield United, Stoke and West Brom Eye the Young Star

Sheffield United, Stoke City and West Brom are vying for the signature of Leicester City’s Tom Cannon. The 21-year-old striker has caught the eye of Chris Wilder, who is keen 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 bosses who believe he has the potential to make a significant impact at the club. Stoke City, on the other hand, could have an edge in the race for Cannon if they are willing to cover a bigger chunk of his wages.

However, the decision ultimately rests with Cannon himself as he is keen 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 could also make a move in the transfer market. The Foxes are considering a shock move for Crystal Palace’s Jordan Ayew. The Ghanaian forward, who is also attracting interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, 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 strengthen their attacking options. However, they will face competition from both domestic and international clubs for Ayew’s signature.

Leicester now face a decision on whether to let Cannon leave this summer, potentially opening up a place in their squad for a new arrival like Ayew. The transfer window promises to be an exciting time for all parties involved as clubs look to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
