West Brom target Sorba Thomas is set to leave Huddersfield Town to join FC Nantes on loan, according to L’Equipe.
West Brom boss Carlos Corberan worked with Thomas during his tenure at Huddersfield Town and the Baggies had been linked with a swoop to reunite the Spaniard and the Welshman.
It comes after Thomas and the Terriers were relegated from the Championship at the end of last season. The winger’s best efforts were not enough to stave off the drop and he always seemed unlikely to stick around for their League One promotion push.
FC Nantes of Ligue 1 have been among those keen while the Baggies were said to be unwilling to meet Thomas’ valuation.
Now, reports from reputable French outlet L’Equipe claim Nantes will be his destination.
They state that the Ligue 1 side are set to bring the Huddersfield Town man in on loan. In turn, that will end any chance of a West Brom deal to reunite Corberan and Thomas.
Thomas managed four goals and nine assists last season and has managed the step up to Championship football well sicne joining from Boreham Wood in 2021. This move now offers him a first chance to test himself in top-flight football.
