However, it appears he's set to return to the Championship in a straight sale.
Both Sunderland and the Blades are ready to pay £13m for the striker, as Alan Nixon reports: “Leicester are set to accept both offers and allow the player to discuss the move with the two clubs.
"The deal is now full time and not a loan to buy after a remarkable day of haggling. The Blades will offer Cannon a lucrative contract and their salary may be higher than what Sunderland will pay.”
