The Everton academy graduate spent the second half of last season on loan at the Championship club, scoring eight goals in 21 games. The Lilywhites have made it no securet that they would like Cannon to return for the upcoming campaign.
Manager Ryan Lowe said earlier this week via Lancs Live: "It's not fair to speak about TC at the moment because he's not our player. Everyone knows how we feel about TC and he knows, but ultimately he's Everton's player. When we are given the nod - if we are - to be able to do something then we'll obviously look to do it.
“But, we have to just be careful because he’s not ours now. He was loaned to us, which we massively respect from last season and we feel we improved him. I’d like to think, if there was an opportunity for him to go out on loan, that there’d only be one place he’d be choosing.”
