Sheffield United have made a formal £7 million bid for Stoke City striker Tom Cannon, as they look to strengthen their attacking options in their quest for Premier League promotion.
Sheffield United have reportedly lodged a formal £7 million bid for Stoke City striker Tom Cannon . Sources have confirmed the interest from the Blades, who are in direct competition with Sunderland for the 22-year-old's signature. Cannon, currently on loan from Leicester City, has been a key figure for the Potters this season, making 25 appearances and scoring 11 goals. Sheffield United 's pursuit of Cannon comes at a crucial juncture in their Championship campaign.
Sitting in third place, the Blades are firmly in the race for Premier League promotion, but recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last four matches. They trail leaders Leeds United by just two points and were recently eliminated from the FA Cup by Cardiff City. Cannon's arrival would undoubtedly bolster their attacking options, complementing the talents of Ryan Oné and Rhian Brewster. However, to facilitate the transfer, Cannon's loan spell at Stoke would need to be prematurely terminated. While Leicester City escaped any sanctions regarding the initial loan agreement with Stoke, a £7 million permanent deal could prove enticing for Ruud van Nistelrooy's Foxes
