The 21-year-old made a total of 16 appearances for Leicester last season, only starting five. His brace against Huddersfield Town on New Year’s Day were the only league goals he scored last term, and during their end-of-season run-in, he played just 15 minutes in their last 11 games, with the title all but wrapped up.

Leicester signed Cannon from Everton in September for a fee of around £7.5m with a sizeable sell-on-clause included in the deal. He is under contract with Leicester until the summer of 2028, so they are likely to only entertain a loan deal, as there is still a chance for the player to live up to his potential.

He was prolific at academy level for the Toffees, scoring 51 goals in 97 games for their under-18 and under-21 sides. Cannon had a loan spell with Preston North End in the second half of the 2022/23 season and netted eight goals in 21 games.
