Everton plot move for Stoke City’s Sorba Thomas Everton are tracking Stoke City winger ahead of a potential summer move, according to the Daily Mail . The Toffees need a new left-winger, with Tyrique George poised to return for his parent club, while the Merseyside outfit has no plans of buying Jack Grealish permanently. Consequently, Everton are keeping tabs on Thomas, who has impressed this season, bagging 10 goals and nine assists in the Championship.

The Everton target has created a staggering 16 big chances and played two key passes per game, earmarking himself as one of the best players in the second division. Stoke City boss Mark Robins hailed him as ‘unbelievable’ following his excellent start to the season. Thomas is enjoying a brilliant campaign and can cap it off by guiding Wales to the 2026 World Cup.

Everton have received positive reports from scouts on his performances. They might swoop for the Championship star, having enjoyed a great record 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.
