Portsmouth's League One rivals Bolton Wanderers eyeing move for released midfielder

It's understood the Trotters hold interest in the midfielder as they prepare for a League One return.

Cannon departed the Blues last week following two-and-a-half years at Fratton Park.

Arriving from Rochdale for £150,000 in January 2019, he scored three goals in 79 appearances for Pompey.

However, with Danny Cowley plotting a major rebuild and wanting to freshen the squad up ahead of a renewed promotion push, Cannon was released.

The decision left sections of supporters surprised, with the 25-year-old being one of the standout performers when the Blues topped the table during the first half of the season

It’s likely Cannon won't be short of admirers as a free agent this summer as he seeks his next challenge.

And it's understood that Bolton are one side who are potential suitors.
