Cheick Souaré is a French centre midfielder, born on 3 September 2002 (age 23), whose senior career has been shaped chiefly at Viktoria Plzen. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he is not the sort of midfielder who dominates a team sheet by size, but his work in the middle of the pitch has made him a regular part of Plzen’s recent squads.
His time at Viktoria Plzen is the clear substance of the story so far. Across four seasons he has made 50 league appearances and scored five league goals, with 2025-26 his most productive campaign in the league: three goals from 29 appearances.
In 2026-27, Souaré has remained involved across domestic and European competition for Viktoria Plzen, including 10 Europa League appearances and a goal. His current market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in August 2026, a straightforward transfer rumour rather than anything more concrete. For now, his career remains centred on Viktoria Plzen, where he has built the bulk of his senior experience and profile.
