West Brom can seal promotion if bold Leicester City deal is struck: View.
The Baggies will be keenly interested in the latest news on Cannon, particularly given his £10 million price tag.
West Brom may be able to secure a return to the Premier League with a loan-to-buy deal for the former Everton forward, which could trigger upon promotion.
His four-goal showing against Portsmouth in October was impressive and might pave the way for future opportunities with Stoke.
Chances to score will only increase as a team moves up the division. Corberan already boasts one of the division’s most talented chance makers in Tom Fellows, and Cannon would flourish playing off him.
Potential Tom Cannon trade would relieve West Brom’s and Daryl Dike’s fitness concerns.
If Cannon signs for West Brom, it may relieve pressure on Daryl Dike to recover from injury faster than necessary. However, this may pose selection issues for Corberan and Maja.
In February, the American sustained his second ruptured Achilles in a year, and he has not appeared in a match since.
On his day, he is a terrific player, but it is unclear how he can recover from this lengthy layoff, especially because this is the second time he has been injured.
Cannon offers Corberan the confidence of having two quality Championship attackers at his disposal, and his goals alone might propel the Baggies to the Premier League.

Despite his lack of top-flight experience, Cannon has the potential to become a household name if he stays on his present path.
Leicester presently have the upper hand, and West Brom must be prepared to make a move for the striker if he is returned from his loan, which would be detrimental to Stoke.
