The 20-year-old has made a barnstorming impact at Deepdale and has seven goals in total - with his last six efforts coming in as many matches.
Cannon bagged a double in Preston's 2-0 win at QPR on Good Friday before opening the scoring in a 2-1 victory over Reading on Easter Monday. As a result, the Lilywhites sit seventh in the Championship and outside the play-offs only on goal difference.
Cannon, speaking to our sister title the Lancashire Evening Post after the QPR win, did not give much away when asked about his long-term plans.

Cannon is under contract at Everton until the summer of 2025.
