Nigerian midfielder Emmanuel Ayaosi is reportedly set to make a major career move from MFK Karviná to Czech giants Viktoria Plzeň this January, Soccernet.ng reports.
The transfer comes after a breakthrough season in which the 21-year-old has caught the eye with his impressive attacking performance in the midfield and on the wings.
Ayaosi, currently valued at €350,000 by Transfermarkt, which roughly converts to ₦605 million, has sparked interest from multiple clubs in the Czech Republic.
Sources suggest a deal with Plzeň is close to being finalised. This means that the young Nigerian is joining a team that regularly competes at the top of the Czech First League and in European competitions.
Sources confirm Ayaosi’s move to Viktoria Plzeň
A source close to the player said:
“Yes, I can confirm that Ayaosi is moving to Viktoria Plzeň in January, with everything being agreed in principle. The player has been attracting interest from other clubs, but we have agreed with Plzeň for his transfer and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be joining them.” the source told Footy Africa.
The source added:
“They have shown tremendous interest in him, and we believe the club is the best fit for him at the moment. He is a very talented player, and he will be a good addition to the Plzeň team, where I hope he can continue to develop.”
Who is Emmanuel Ayaosi?
Ayaosi is a 21-year-old Nigerian midfielder and also a winger currently playing for MFK Karviná in the Czech First League.
He has emerged as one of Nigeria’s promising young talents in Europe, and he is well-known for his attacking style and goal-scoring ability.
Ayaosi had a breakthrough season. In November 2025, he scored his first senior hat-trick in a 4–3 league win against Hradec Králové.
His strong performances made him a key creative player for Karviná and attracted interest from bigger clubs in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Soccernet verdict: Is this a good move?
The move to Viktoria Plzeň makes sense. Plzeň is a top Czech club that regularly plays in European competitions, which gives Ayaosi a chance to test himself at a higher level and continue his development.
The transfer is a step up in competition and an opportunity to build his reputation, which could lead to future moves to bigger leagues.
