Sorba Thomas

In September 2026, reports suggested Hull City were close to agreeing a fee of approximately €8.8 million (£7.5m). This followed reports in August 2026 that Stoke City's asking price was over €11.8 million (£10m), and that an earlier Hull bid of up to €8.2 million (£7m) had been rejected. During July 2026, West Ham were reportedly considering a €17.5 million (£15m) purchase, while Stoke's valuation was cited elsewhere at over €11.8 million (£10m) and also around €10.6 million (£9m). An outlier valuation from May 2026 suggested an asking price of €25 million. Transfermarkt's valuation has been listed at €14 million (July/August 2026) and €10 million (May 2026).

Our valuation is driven by the latest reports from September 2026 indicating Hull City are close to agreeing a fee around €8.8 million for Sorba Thomas. This figure establishes a credible floor for negotiations. However, this is contrasted with Stoke City's consistently reported asking price of over €11.8 million throughout the preceding month. Our estimate of €10 million represents a likely compromise between the reported final offer and the club's firm valuation.
