The 22-years-old midfielder from Nigeria becomes the first signing of Viktoria Plzeň for the 2018/19 season. Ubong Moses Ekpai has signed a three-year contract.

Ekpai has played in the Czech Republic from the 2016/2017 season when he played for Slovan Liberec. There he scored 4 goals during 16 matches and added two assistances. He played for Zlín the last season when he scored 7 goals within 28 matches and notched up 4 assistances. He also participated in the Europa League for both teams. Now there is one more challenge in front of him – the contract in Viktoria Plzeň.

 „In my opinion, Plzeň is the best Czech club. They play as a family, as one team. I like it and I think it´s a good choice for me,“ he says immediately after signing the new contract. „Playing in Viktoria is a huge challenge for me. I´ll have an opportunity to play the Champions League for the first time. I believe in myself as well as in the team, we can make it,“ he added resolutely.

He admires several players from his new team. „Limberský is the best defender in the Czech Republic, in my opinion. He plays great and smartly and I´m looking forward to play with him. I also like Kopic and Krmenčík who likes scoring,“ Ekpai looks forward to the new season.

He wishes to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League. „I´d like to beat them and I want Cristiano Ronaldo to be there,“ the Nigerian midfielder is smiling.

„Ubong Ekpai is a fast player, which is very important in modern football. He also has some experience with the European football so we are glad to welcome him here in Viktoria. I wish him to be successful in our team,“ the CEO Adolf Šádek said.
