Sunderland are planning to offer an initial £3 million for Everton striker Tom Cannon as the Black Cats set their sights on promotion ne☂xt season.

That is according to a report from (9/7; page 63), which no🅘tes that the Toffees were not expecting permanent bids for the 20-year-old in this window.

Tom Cannon is one of a number of younger players probably wondering what sort of ♚roleꦜ he could play at Goodison Park next season.

Sunderland preparing bid for Tom Cannon

As the report notes, Everton need to sell players this summer. And with Ellis Simms already moving on, there is a chance for𝓡 a young forward to send a message to Sean Dyche.

However, Cannon may get the ch𝔉ance to follow Siꩲmms out of the door. (9/7; page 63) reports that Sunderland want to make a bid to sign Cannon permanently.

Tony Mowbray’s men agoni🐬singly missed out on promotion last term. And it is suggested that they are preparing a £3 million plus add-ons move for the Everton starlet.

Meanwhile, Luton and Preston North End also wan𒈔t the youngster.

Sunderland suff🌱ered for not having a natural goalscorer during the second-half of last season. Ross Stewart suffered a serious injury after scoring 10 goals in 13 games. And Leeds loanee Joe Gelhardt was not the perfect fit for the role of leading the lineꦫ on his own.

Stewart remains sidelined. Meanwhile, Gelhardt has re🌟turned to Elland Road. So there is an opportunity for someone to come in and establish themselves in the side.

And Cannon has shown what he can do in the Championsh❀ip. He scored eight times while he enjoyed an ‘‘ loan with Preston during the second-half of last season.

Everton th🌄erefore, potentially face a tricky decision as they look to get their own summer going.
