A strange one that seems highly dubious is the report that Everton are interested in re-signing Tom Cannon from Leicester City.
The former Everton Academy striker enjoyed a prolific first half of the season on loan with Championship side Stoke City, and there is supposedly an opportunity to bring him back after his loan spell has been brought to a premature end ahead of potentially leaving the King Power Stadium on a permanent basis.
Some sources claim that Everton have held talks over making a move for Cannon within the last 24 hours, but Sheffield United are confident they have emerged as the frontrunners and – along with Sunderland – want to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy for in excess of £10million if they earn promotion.
The connection to Everton seems highly spurious and Alan Meyers has reported there is no substance to it.
