Everton plot move for Stoke City’s Sorba Thomas | OneFootball

Everton are tracking Stoke City winger Sorba Thomas ahead of a potential summer move, according to the Daily Mail.

The Toffees need a new left-winger, with Tyrique George poised to return to his parent club. They have no plans of buying Jack Grealish permanently.

Everton are keeping tabs on Thomas, who has bagged 10 goals and nine assists in the Championship this season.

He has created 16 big chances and played two key passes per game, earmarking himself as one of the best players in the second tier.

Stoke City boss Mark Robins has described him as ‘unbelievable’ following his form this season. Thomas can cap it off by helping Wales qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Everton have received positive reports from scouts on his performances.

They may swoop for the Championship star, having previously enjoyed a great record when shopping in the second division.

The 27-year-old brings devastating pace and remarkable one-v-one ability that can take Everton’s attacking game to the next level.

The Toffees are on track to qualify for one of the Europa League or Europa Conference League and will need difference-makers when they rub shoulders with the big boys.

There are clear gaps across the squad that David Moyes’ side must address if they are to compete on multiple fronts next season.

Both full-back areas lack consistent quality and depth, with injuries and patchy form exposing defensive frailties throughout the campaign.

Strengthening those positions should be a priority.

There is also a growing need for reinforcements in defensive midfield, with Idrissa Gueye not getting any younger and the physical demands of European football looming.

There are still questions up front, with Beto and Thierno Barry failing to deliver consistently, leaving room for another striker to provide a cutting edge.
