I have a Bosch cooker hood with charcoal filters, Not brilliant and the filters are extortionate expensive and need to be changed quite often,

Getting there.
Existing extractor fan is 6" and 25w. About 1.2 from the cooker.
Plan A try a more powerful extractor and see how that goes.
Chance to spend hours looking spec's at B+Q and Skrewfix etc

my advice fit a conopy and channel it over to the fan
if you had cupboards up on the right side of the cooker you wouldnt see the channel or the tube going to outside as the cupboards would hide it

I agree cant beat a proper extractor venting out of the house totaly.
Mine is a hood but it is on a 45 degree angle, so
I dont hit my head
It dont get in the way
Wall space is greater
Easier to see what you are doing on the stove

Ok if you are going down the road of a wall/extractor fan, there will be as many here that may disagree with what I'm saying.
For a kitchen it needs to be a bare minimum of 6 inches, 9 inch models much better and it needs to have " for kitchen " in the description.
You have more chance of getting a 6 inch humidistat then you do the larger type, humidistat is imo the better option unless you are very disciplined, also try to get one with a vent shutter although it's possible to retrofit a model that doesn't have this.
Your sparky should be able to wire it to your kitchen lighting circuit, the effort might not be a walk in the park, a model with a timer is a must, a pull cord might be helpful too.
If a sparky or DIY install, you have double sockets either side of the gas hob, this will be another connection option for you, hense a pull cord.
Don't limit yourself to B&Q or SF, there are many brands out there, ( including rebrands ), to suit all budgets, Manrose at the lower end, not pretty but they do the job to the more atheistically pleasing brands and probably longer lasting.
IMO for a kitchen 9" is better.

The one fitted is a 6'' jobbie. Basic twenty quid thing. No idea how much air it shifts but barely tickles the vents on the outside
its hard wired into the wall and on a pull switch. see photo without the guard on
I think pull switch so I can use it as a ventilator in the summer, very little natural airflow in my bottom yard
I dont fancy opening the wall up anymore, on this house that sort of thing can cause catastrophes. I'll try this first
I've seen a few about the £40 to £60 range that shift 240 cubic m per hour.

I beg to differ, mine takes all of the steam away when boiling pasta/vegies ect, with it off the ceiling/walls will drip
I have a ceiling mounted cooker hood which is a recirculating one, uses all sorts of UV and magic apparently, but it works very well. It cost a crazy amount - westin stratus 360.
I could say that's all you need, but, I also have whole house MVHR which has humidity sensing and speeds up when things get damp. General house humidity is a good thing to think about.

a decent extractor will push all you need to get rid of through that 6 inch hole. mine pushes the steam and grease out of my 6" hole and cakes the top of the bamboo in it for 10 meteres!

You can get three for that price off TEMU but they are white .
I got three a year ago , fitted two by making them plug in out so a quick change over can be done when one fails . Fitted the spare up exactly the same .
They replaced the original ones I had put in eleven years ago which suddenly got condensation build up in minus six inthe roof void in badly routed soft wire reinforced dryer venting pipes.

looks more like a 4 extractor fan which is ample enough to use
however not much good if not used with a cooker hood over the hob
otherwise known as a smell extractor and thats it
as goes for 6" hole fan you also have to remember what you suck out of the room has to be replaced by somewhere else so the longer its on your pulling from other rooms within the house to feed the extraction in the first place
and not forgetting they can also back flow so at the highest point they can go in reverse letting your heated air go out while replacing with loverly cold air coming back in from the outside back into the room

dam right air needs replacing. I fitted a intake in the open plan living room so that in incoming air has to go past the log burner for that very reason
