Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

T. Cannon is a 23-year-old centre-forward at Sheffield Utd, rated 64.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 136th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (41.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cannon.

Judged on this season alone, Cannon graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 6 goals and 2 assists in 36 appearances (0.417 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 22). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 29% of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 23 Cannon is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.5 reflects that trajectory.

  • Game time. Only 41.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.1, Cannon carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship (top 29%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
