Liberian Defender Sampson Dweh Commits to Viktoria Plzeň Until 2029

Monrovia—Liberian international defender Sampson Dweh has officially committed his long-term future to Czech club Viktoria Plzeň, signing a contract extension that secures his place at the club until 2029. The 24-year-old center-back had been linked with a summer exit amid reported interest from top European clubs, including Championship side Leicester City, Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg. However, with no formal offers materializing, Dweh chose to remain with Plzeň.

"I’m happy at Viktorka, and I really appreciate the club’s trust in me," Dweh stated. "I will do my best to contribute to our shared success." Dweh’s journey with Plzeň began in the summer of 2023 with a successful trial, leading to a one-year loan that the club quickly converted into a permanent deal. He has since become a fixture in the defense, making 115 appearances for the club, including 36 in European competitions, while contributing seven goals and seven assists.

Plzeň’s sporting director, Daniel Kolář, praised the defender's rapid development: "Sampson Dweh has made incredible progress with us over the past two years. He is an important part of our defense and has repeatedly proven his quality both in the domestic league and on the European stage. He has our full trust, which is reflected in this new contract extension until 2029." Dweh has been a regular starter for Plzeň this season in both the Chance Liga and the Europa League.
