Tom Cannon, 21, may ignite a three-club transfer battle if Leicester City decides to let him go this summer. Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is keen on the new Republic of Ireland cap following the departure of Oli McBurnie. However, West Brom and Stoke City are also eyeing a loan deal for Cannon.

West Brom rates Cannon highly, despite his limited appearances for Leicester since his move from Preston a year ago. Stoke City might have an advantage if they offer to cover more of his wages. Cannon’s desire for regular playing time will be a significant factor, and Sheffield United will need to assure him of a starting spot.

Meanwhile, Leicester is considering a surprising move for Crystal Palace’s Ghanaian star Jordan Ayew, 32, who also attracts interest from Saudi Pro League clubs. Ayew scored four goals and provided eight assists in 37 appearances last season. Since joining Palace permanently in 2019, Ayew has tallied 23 goals and 22 assists in 211 appearances.
