Africa-Press – Liberia. The Central defender signed a three-year deal with Plzen that will run until 2027.
Liberia International defender Sampson Dweh has signed a permanent deal with Czech Republic outfit Victoria Plzen.
The Central defender signed a three-year deal with Plzen that will run until 2027.
The former LPRC Oilers defender joined Viktoria Plzen on loan from MFK Vyškov that plays in the Czech 2nd division league and he was very impressive during his loan spell that convinced the club to make the deal permanent.
Announcing the deal on their official website Wednesday, June 5, the club said the Liberian international has established himself as a popular figure among the fans.
The club statement reads: “No tension today! Sampson Dweh is permanently moving to Victoria Plzen. He signed a contract until 2027.”
Viktoria exercised the option of buying the player at the end of the loan as a way of preventing bigger clubs from taking the promising defender from them.
Sampson Dweh came to Victoria a year ago from Vyškov. First, for a test match, in which he convinced coach Miroslav Koubek of his qualities and won a one-year loan with an option.
The 22-year-old defender has been instrumental in his team’s journey in Europa Conference league and in their domestic competition at the Doosan Arena.
“Sampson adapted very quickly, was able to win a solid place in the lineup and proved his qualities both in league matches and on the European stage. Our decision-making was therefore very clear, his staying in our jersey is important news,” said the club’s sporting director Daniel Kolář. “Together we believe that we can develop the player even further and that Sampson will be one of our defensive pillars in the new season as well,” he added.
“I feel happy in Viktoria, we have a good team here and we played a great season. I’m already looking forward to the new one, which will again be full of great challenges for all of us,” said the 22-year-old defender.
In the Viktoria jersey, he played a total of 48 matches in the 2023/2024 season and scored two goals.
