A Key Championship Fixture Awaits
Stoke City faces a challenging test against Millwall in the 15th round of the Championship, a match that demands their best form. The team will heavily rely on Tom Cannon, their leading scorer, to make an impact.
Since joining, the 21-year-old forward has seized his opportunity, tallying 8 goals and an assist across 10 appearances this season. His commitment to Stoke City is evident, not only as a pure striker but as a player who contributes defensively by pressing and recovering the ball, showing his dedication on both ends of the pitch. Cannon is expected to start in this crucial game against Millwall, with fans hoping he can further boost Stoke City's goal tally.
Looking Toward a Long-Term Future with The Potters
As Cannon’s loan from Leicester City progresses, there is growing interest in securing his future with Stoke City. Despite his age, the 21-year-old has made an impressive impact, and the club may explore a permanent transfer at the end of the season.
However, given his stellar performances, his market value has risen, which could make negotiations challenging. Nonetheless, Stoke City sees Cannon as an ideal candidate to continue leading their attack, and his potential for a long-term role is something both the club and its fans are eager to pursue.
