Welsh international Sorba Thomas, 27, offered no comment when questioned about his future. Stoke City reportedly considers him a key part of their plans for the next season, unless an exceptionally high offer is submitted. It is thought possible that Premier League scouts are monitoring the player after a season with many goals and assists, with Everton mentioned as a potential destination. The winger, who joined Stoke in July 2025 and has a contract until 2028, has also been linked with Sunderland, Fulham, and Coventry City. Thomas has 25 caps and 2 goals for Wales. His current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In May 2026, reports suggested Coventry City were prepared to pay around €25m for the player.
