Coventry City fan pundit Chris Deez mentioned that 25-year-old English Centre-Back Bobby Thomas had previously been linked with Sheffield United, in addition to Everton and West Ham. Deez stated that a transfer to Sheffield United was not going to happen. He suggested that Coventry would likely request at least £20 million for the player at this point in the transfer window, adding that a replacement would need to be secured before any potential departure. Thomas joined Coventry City in July 2023 and is contracted until June 2027. During the 2025/2026 season, he has made 23 appearances in the Championship, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €10.00m.
