Tom Cannon: Leicester City sign striker from Everton on five-year deal

Leicester City have signed Tom Cannon from Everton for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract.

Cannon, 20, made four senior appearances for the Toffees, most recently as a substitute in the 1-0 defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

But he scored eight times in 21 games on loan in the Championship for Preston North End last season.

Meanwhile, Foxes midfielder Boubakary Soumare has joined Sevilla on a season-long loan.

Soumare has played 59 times for the club in the two years since he signed from Lille, but he has not featured at all under new head coach Enzo Maresca this season.
