Before Christmas, Viktoria is bringing in a new signing, twenty-five-year-old Merchas Doski from Slovácko. He signed a three-year contract with the club and will report to coach Miroslav Koubek at the start of the winter training.

Merchas Doski is representing Iraq. It is from his reunion that he is now free to come to Plzeň and sign a new three-year contract with Viktoria Plzeň.

"I am happy for this opportunity and chance. It is a big step in my career and I am looking forward to the new engagement. Viktoria has big ambitions, they play in the Europa League and they have a great domestic competition. I will do my best to be an asset to the club," said the 25-year-old.

"Merchas Doski was on our radar. He is a very interesting footballer who has adapted perfectly to our league and performed very well in Slovácko. We promise him to increase competition on the left side of the field and to bring other interesting elements to our game such as aggression and intensity," commented Daniel Kolář, the club´s sporting director, on the new signing.

Merchas Ghazi Salih Doski, as his full name sounds, went through the lower German competitions in his youth, then moved to clubs such as FC Wacker in Austria and then moved to Slovácko in 2022.

He is a member of the starting line-up of the Iraq national team (20 starts), with whom he plays World Cup qualification. He has played 63 matches in the Czech top flight and scored 4 goals. He will add more in the red and blue jersey.

Merchas, welcome to Viktorka!
