Wrexham AFC should be making Huddersfield Town enquiry if six-figure fee is true: View
Following Huddersfield Town’s recent relegation to League One, it seems as if Sorba Thomas will be heading for the exit door at the John Smith’s Stadium, but as it stands, he remains a Terrier.
Not many Huddersfield players would have emerged with any credit after a disappointing season which saw them relegated, but the likes of Jack Rudoni have already left the club, joining Coventry City for a reported fee of just under £4 million, and it’s no surprise to see Thomas linked with a move away from Yorkshire.
The 25-year-old Welsh international has two years left on his deal at the John Smith’s Stadium but the suggestion is that the Terriers are desperate to move him on amid interest from French Ligue 1 side Nantes.
However, despite being a key player for the Terriers and having two years left on his deal, the club are reportedly demanding a meagre £850,000 for his services this summer.
With this in mind, perhaps Wrexham should look to convince the Welsh international to cross the border and join the exciting project that has seen them win two consecutive promotions.
Wrexham should make an ambitious plot to sign Sorba Thomas
There’s no doubt that Wrexham, led by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney would be able to afford Huddersfield’s rumoured six-figure asking price, and the prospect of signing a current Welsh international would be one that appeals to the North Walian club.
It may seem like a sideways move for Thomas if he joins a fellow League One club when he’s clearly good enough to be playing at a higher level, but the prospect of joining the exciting project at Wrexham could appeal to him, and a number of the Red Dragons’ squad have previously dropped a level to play for them, such was the money on offer and attraction of playing for a club with Hollywood owners.
On paper, a move to Nantes is a good one for Thomas, and he’ll be playing against some giants of the European game if he does move to the French west coast, but there’s no guarantee he’ll start week-in week-out, which he would at Wrexham.
Given their finances and the exciting project building, perhaps Wrexham should test the waters with a bid for Thomas. £850,000 would be an absolute steal for the Welshman and he could take their right side to the next level.
Huddersfield Town should be asking for more than £850,000
Considering the Terriers were over ambitious in their initial valuation of Rudoni, demanding £10 million at the beginning of the summer, it seems crazy that they’re willing to offload Thomas for just £850,000.
Thomas is one of Huddersfield’s main assets, and he had some of the best stats in the league in his position last season.
