Tom Cannon's First Statements as a Stoke City Player

After arriving on loan from Leicester City, Tom Cannon has now set foot in Stoke City, where he aims to make a lasting impact on the team during his stay until 2025. The young player comes with high expectations, and there's even talk of a potential permanent stay at the club.

However, only time will tell how his season unfolds, as this 21-year-old has fantastic potential that could benefit Steve Schumacher not just this season, but also in the future. With a well-crafted project in the works, Stoke City is aiming to succeed and make a swift return to the Premier League.

Tom Cannon Excited About Joining Stoke City

It seems that the 21-year-old arrives at a fantastic point in his career, making a significant step up and hoping to secure minutes as a starting player. Leicester City did not appear to have him in their plans for this season, and Stoke City pushed hard to secure his services, impressed by his profile, especially considering the injury to Sam Gallagher. Cannon could be the solution to many of the team's issues.

"Stoke City is a massive club, with an exciting young team and I’m absolutely delighted to be joining. I’ve had loads of messages from the supporters. I’m feeling the love from them already and being appreciated at a Club is massive. I’m hoping I can get off the mark as soon as possible and repay them with goals. What they will see is me working my socks off and being up for it, and when I get an opportunity, I can put it away."

We've also seen how Sporting Director Jonathan Walters expressed his approval of Tom Cannon's arrival, stating that the young forward's contributions to the team will be impeccable.

"It’s no exaggeration to say that most clubs in the Championship wanted to sign Tom this summer, so it’s a huge vote of confidence that he has opted for Stoke City. His arrival is testament to his faith in the squad we are building and in the way he believes we can develop him as a footballer, and I can’t wait to see him representing our club on the field."

So much so that his arrival is already generating buzz, and his highly anticipated debut could come on September 14th against Oxford United when league competitions resume after the international break, providing teams with a two-week rest period.
