Metsoko’s recent career has been shaped by movement rather than continuity, with spells involving Viktoria Plzen, Slovan Bratislava, Spartak Trnava and Dundee United. His career line includes two goals in 2023-24, while the sequence of loans suggests a striker still searching for a settled platform.

Every move since August 2024 has centred on Viktoria Plzen loaning Metsoko out or bringing him back from loan. Slovan Bratislava came first, then Spartak Trnava, before Dundee United took him on loan in July 2026 – a pattern of temporary moves rather than a permanent step.
