Seamus Coleman texting Everton youngster after impressive performances out on loan
On-loan Everton youngster Tom Cannon has opened up on the constant support he has been receiving from Seamus Coleman and his loan move to Preston North End.
Cannon left Goodison Park during the January transfer window, joining Ryan Lowe’s Preston on loan until the end of the season. The youngster has so far scored three times in 13 appearances for the Championship club.
The Aintree-born forward is currently away on international duty with the Republic of Ireland Under-21s, Cannon is eligible through his Galway and Mayo roots, and when asked about Blues captain Coleman, the forward opened up on how he has been keeping in touch with him during his time at Deepdale.

Jordan Pickford makes Everton relegation admission after new stadium claim
Jordan Pickford believes it is important Everton preserve their Premier League status as the club is geared to go in the right direction.
Although Everton currently sit outside the bottom three, they once again find themselves mired in another relegation battle. The Blues stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season. Everton finished 16th, having secured their Premier League survival on the penultimate day with a dramatic 3-2 win over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park. The Blues came from 2-0 down at the break to claim all three points on a dramatic night that will live long in the memory.
Pickford, who recently signed a new contract that will keep him at Goodison for the next four-and-a-half years, is also involved in another scrap with both Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope eyeing his England No.1 spot.
And although the former Sunderland man accepts that his status as Gareth Southgate’s first choice will come under threat if Everton are relegated, he believes the most important reason for his side to avoid the drop is to ensure they can keep building and heading in the right direction.
He said: “I’ve just gotta focus on myself. Aaron is having a top season at Arsenal, going for the title, while Newcastle are fifth so they could be in the Champions League as well. It’s important that Everton stay in the Premier League. It’s the top league to be in, so I’ve got to put my focus on that. I can only think about being the best I can be."
