Czech First Division side FC Viktoria Plzen have officially announced the signing of Nigerian striker Salim Fago Lawal from Croatian club NK Istra.
The 23-year-old forward has completed a move to the West Bohemian outfit after agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract, marking a significant step forward in his European career.
Lawal arrives in the Czech Republic following an impressive spell with NK Istra, where he showcased his attacking qualities by scoring 15 goals and providing two assists across all competitions.
His performances in Croatia attracted interest, with Viktoria Plzen moving decisively to secure his services.
Both clubs have opted not to disclose the financial details of the transfer.
At his new club, Lawal will wear jersey number 70 as he looks to make an immediate impact in the Czech First Division and in continental competitions.
The striker was also part of Nigeria’s squad at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, further underlining his growing reputation at both club and international level.
Viktoria Plzen will be hoping Lawal’s goal-scoring prowess adds extra firepower to their attack as they push for domestic success and strong European outings.
