West Brom and Sheffield United eye £10m-rated Sunderland transfer target swoop
The West Brom and Sheffield United transfer target is valued at around £10million by Leicester City
West Brom and Sheffield United are reportedly eyeing a deal for Tom Cannon during the January transfer window.
Sunderland saw multiple big-money bids for the striker rejected by Leicester City last summer before Cannon eventually joined Stoke City on loan in the Championship as the Black Cats signed Wilson Isidor and Ahmed Abdullahi to bolster their own attacking options.
However, according to a national report from The Sun newspaper, the Foxes hold an option to cut Cannon’s loan deal at the Potters short in January should they choose to do so. This situation has allegedly placed Championship clubs on “red alert.”
It is not yet clear whether or not Sunderland would be interested again in signing Cannon. Isidor has netted two goals in two starts for Régis Le Bris but Abdullahi is yet to feature for his new club due to injury. The Black Cats hope to be boosted by the return of Eliezer Mayenda, who has four goal contributions to his name, after the international break.
