West Brom, Stoke City and Sheffield United are interested in Leicester City striker Tom Cannon, according to reporter Alan Nixon on his Patreon page.
The Championship trio are all keen on a potential loan move for the attacker this summer as they prepare for the start of the new season next month. He was part of the Leicester City’s side who won the second tier title in the last campaign under Enzo Maresca before he left for Chelsea.
Cannon, 21, joined the Foxes on a permanent deal from Everton last year and he penned a bumper five-year contract at the King Power Stadium. He has since scored three goals in 16 appearances in all competitions.
In this latest update regarding his future by journalist Nixon on Patreon, West Brom, Stoke City and Sheffield United are in the frame to land him on a temporary basis in this window. Steve Cooper has a big decision to make on what to do with the player.

Cannon’s chances of nailing down a place in Leicester City’s first-team in the top flight in the next campaign are slim so a move away would make sense.
The Republic of Ireland international, who has one cap under his belt so far in his career, would benefit from getting some regular football somewhere else
He rose up through the academy ranks at Everton and was a regular for the Toffees at various different youth levels.
Cannon went on to play four times for the first-team at Goodison Park before being loaned out to Preston North End to get some experience.
The Merseyside-born man was a hit during his spell at Deepdale and scored eight goals in 21 outings.
Everton gave him the green light to leave full-time when Leicester City came calling.
