Oxford United are eyeing up a move for Everton youngster, Tom Cannon, according to Alan Nixon.
The 19-year-old striker has impressed for the Toffees’ U21 side, scoring four goals and adding an assist from three Premier League 2 matches this season.
Cannon has notched 43 goals and 12 assists from 84 appearances for Everton’s youth sides but is yet to make his first team debut, despite training with the senior side ahead of their Premier League clash against Brentford.
However, with Fleetwood Town and Derby County also reportedly interested in the Irish striker, the U’s could face a battle to sign him on loan.
Oxford have Matty Taylor and summer arrival Kyle Joseph as their current options, with Sam Baldock also among the options when he returns from injury.
Karl Robinson has opted to give game time to youngsters Slavi Spasov and Gatlin O’Donkor, too, but another striking option may result in the duo being shipped out on loan.
