Roma step up interest in Liberia defender Sampson Dweh

AS Roma are stepping up their interest in Liberian defender Sampson Dweh, with the player now emerging as a key target for the Italian club ahead of the next transfer window.

The 24-year-old, who currently plays for FC Viktoria Plzen, has attracted growing attention across Europe following a strong and consistent campaign.

His performances have reportedly convinced Roma to place him high on their shortlist as they look to strengthen their defensive options.

According to reports, initial contact has already been made between the two clubs. Viktoria Plzen are understood to value the defender at around €8 million, with negotiations expected to develop further in the coming weeks as Roma assess their defensive plans for the future.

The move is also linked to uncertainty surrounding the future of Evan Ndicka, with the Italian side preparing for potential changes in their backline.

Dweh is viewed as a player capable of providing depth and long-term stability in central defence.

This season, Dweh has been a consistent presence for Viktoria Plzen, featuring in 37 matches across all competitions.

He has contributed one goal and four assists, underlining his influence not only defensively but also in supporting attacking phases of play.

His performances have helped establish him as a reliable figure within the squad, while also increasing his visibility on the European transfer market.

Scouts have reportedly been monitoring his progress closely, particularly given his ability to maintain form across a demanding campaign.

Roma’s interest reflects a broader strategy to reinforce their squad with emerging talent ahead of future challenges.

While no agreement has been reached yet, discussions are expected to continue as the Italian club evaluates the timing and structure of a potential deal.
