Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has claimed Everton starlet Tom Cannon is reflecting on his international future after an "approach" from England.
The Three Lions have seemingly made a play for the Blues youngster, who thrived on loan at Preston North End this season, as they look to bolster their U21 ranks. Lee Carsley's side recently lost talisman Florian Balogun who pledged his allegiance to the US Men's National Team.
Cannon scored on his debut for Ireland's youngsters in March but subsequently missed a call-up to the senior squad after absence from their training camp in Bristol last month through illness. He wasn't selected for their upcoming qualifier with Greece but was expected to return to the youth ranks with Jim Crawford's squad - until the Football Association apparently looked to prise him away after a phonecall from David Moyes' brother.
