Tom Cannon insists he’s ready to push for a place in Sean Dyche’s Everton team and can’t wait to experience the “buzz” of scoring at Goodison Park.
Aintree-born Cannon made his first three senior appearances for the Blues this season, coming off the bench in their back-to-back matches at Bournemouth before the World Cup break and then for the first fixture back at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day. He was then loaned out to Preston North End for the second half of the campaign, netting eight goals in 21 games for the Championship club under the guidance of fellow Scouser Ryan Lowe, a former striker himself.
Everton are understood to be prioritising new attacking options – along with the full-back area – in their transfer plans for this summer. However, with Financial Fair Play restrictions still biting and funds tight, Cannon is hoping to potentially save the Blues some money by working his way into the new manager’s plans.
