Tom Cannon back on Stoke City’s radar

The 21-year-old Irish forward is highly sought after in the transfer market. Leicester City does not seem to have him fully in their plans as they return to the Premier League and prepare for another season in one of Europe’s top competitions.

Stoke City’s interest in Tom Cannon is strong, given his youth and potential. Although there are areas for improvement, his age offers fantastic potential. Last season, Cannon made a notable impact with Leicester City, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists in 16 appearances, demonstrating his promise at just 21 years old.

This has caught Stoke City’s attention, as they aim to secure both a strong present and future. With injuries being a concern throughout the season, having a young forward in Steve Schumacher’s squad could be beneficial.

We’ll see how the transfer window progresses in the coming days. The player has made a significant impression on Steve Schumacher, and the team is eager to make at least one more signing before their EFL Championship debut on August 10.

Several players are reportedly on Stoke City's radar, with negotiations being competitive as many teams, including Stoke City, look to make quick signings before the season starts.
