Everton are in desperate need of January reinforcements.
Everton have won just three league games this season and languish two points above the relegation zone after the busy festive period.
Sean Dyche’s men haven’t won since the fourth of December when they defeated Wolves 4-0 at Goodison Park.
The Toffees have lost successive games to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, leaving fans furious at Dyche for his pragmatic tactics.
Everton supporters are calling for the former Burnley manager to be sacked, however, a decision on his future isn’t likely to be made until the Friedkin Group have appointed a CEO.
Dyche is set to be backed and given funds to spend this month and he must really be regretting the sale of a striker in 2023 who’s now ripping it up in the Championship.
Former Everton striker Tom Cannon impressing at Stoke City
Dyche sanctioned the £7m sale of young striker Tom Cannon to Leicester City during the summer of 2023.
Cannon had just come off the back of an impressive loan spell at Preston North End and many thought he’d play a part in Dyche’s side that season.
However, FFP restrictions appeared to force the sale and now he’s ripping it up at Stoke City on loan from The Foxes.
Cannon has netted 10 times in 24 outings for the Championship side and is attracting interest from promotion challengers Sheffield United, according to Darren Witcoop.
Everton must regret selling Cannon
Everton must surely be looking at Cannon and regretting that sale, as he’s outshining both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto.
Even the £7m they got for him now looks well short of his true valuation, especially considering he’s only just turned 22.
Leicester could recall Cannon this month and sell him on a permanent deal, which will likely bank them a handsome profit.
The 2002-born is already one of the best players in the EFL and looks well-placed to become a Premier League forward in the near future.
Perhaps that got away from The Toffees.
