Unreal fire. The Czech champion already received fourteen reinforcements in the summer!
–
Nigerian striker Fortune Bassey is known primarily for his time in České Budějovice, where he was able to work his way up among the league’s stars. Last year, during the autumn season, he scored 9 league goals and secured a transfer to Ferencváros Budapest, with whom he then celebrated the championship title.

He is now coming on a one-year loan with an option to Victoria. “Our goal was to expand the squad and strengthen in all ranks before a very demanding autumn on the domestic and European scene. I’m glad that it was possible to complete the arrival of such a quality player in the offensive,” CEO Adolf Šádek says on the club’s website.

“I know Viktoria very well, a big club with big ambitions. When this opportunity presented itself, I did not hesitate. It’s a huge challenge for me, we have big games in Europe and in the league ahead of us and I’ll do everything to be an asset to the team,” Bassey is looking forward to.

The 23-year-old attacker will immediately join the training and should be available to the coaches for Saturday’s league duel with Hradec Králové. “Fortune showed in Budějovice that he is an excellent striker. He has the necessary speed, dynamism and good finishing,” head coach Michal Bílek introduces the reinforcement.

With Ferencváros playing for Ferencváros in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, Bassey cannot start for Viktoria in the two-legged play-off against Karabakh. However, he will be fully available for the group stage of the Champions League or the Europa League.
