Preston North End have signed Everton striker Tom Cannon on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old made his Toffees debut in November and also scored five goals in five appearances for their under-21 side in the EFL Trophy this season.

He could make his debut for Ryan Lowe's men against Norwich on Saturday.

"There were a lot of clubs who were interested in signing him, so I'm really pleased we've got it over the line," Lowe told the club website.
