Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Everton seem unlikely to go back for Tom Cannon Michael Kenrick | 15/01/2025 8comments | Jump to last A strange one that seems highly dubious is the report that Everton are interested in re-signing Tom Cannon from Leicester City. The former Everton Academy striker enjoyed a prolific first half of the season on loan with Championship side Stoke City, and there is supposedly an opportunity to bring him back after his loan spell has been brought to a premature end ahead of potentially leaving the King Power Stadium on a permanent basis. Some sources claim that Everton have held talks over making a move for Cannon within the last 24 hours, but Sheffield United are confident they have emerged as the frontrunners and – along with Sunderland – want to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy for in excess of £10million if they earn promotion. The connection to Everton seems highly spurious and Alan Meyers has reported there is no substance to it.

Derek Knox 4 Posted 15/01/2025 at 17:18:12 Brian W, you hoping someone will take the carat ? :-) Jay Evans 5 Posted 15/01/2025 at 17:21:02 Take no notice of the Tom Cannon story.Have a look who his agent is FFS. Kevin Molloy 6 Posted 15/01/2025 at 18:35:32 Alan Myers has just confirmed there is nothing to the Cannon rumours, so this could well be on. Robert Tressell 7 Posted 15/01/2025 at 21:37:06 Good headline for a completely made up rumour. Mick O'Malley 8 Posted 15/01/2025 at 21:39:57 Like it, Derek, he's done okay on loan at Stoke. They are hardly setting the world on fire so he's done well getting 11.But I'm not having this, obviously nonsense.
