Former PSG and Nottingham Forest talent, Loic Mbe Soh, has officially transferred from Sint-Truiden to Sparta Prague. This move comes after Mbe Soh's impressive performance at Sint-Truiden, where he played a pivotal role in helping the club secure a spot in European football for the first time in their history. The transfer fee for the defender is reportedly around €3 million, marking a significant acquisition for Sparta Prague as they bolster their squad.
Mbe Soh's journey in professional football began at the PSG academy, where he made three appearances for the senior team before joining Nottingham Forest in 2020. During his four seasons with Nottingham Forest, the defender played 13 matches and scored one goal. His time there also included loan spells with Guingamp in France and Almere City in the Netherlands, providing him with diverse playing experiences. In 2024, he departed Nottingham Forest as a free agent and subsequently joined Beerschot in the Pro League.
At Beerschot, Mbe Soh featured in 52 games, experiencing both relegation from the top flight in his first full season and a subsequent push for promotion. His solid performances at Beerschot eventually led him to Sint-Truiden in the January transfer window. During his brief but impactful period at Sint-Truiden, Mbe Soh quickly became an integral part of the team. He played 14 games, contributing significantly to their historic qualification for European competition. This season, he had already made two appearances for Sint-Truiden before his move to Sparta Prague was finalized.
The acquisition of Mbe Soh by Sparta Prague is expected to strengthen their defensive line. His experience across various European leagues and his recent form suggest he will be a valuable asset to the Czech club. This transfer highlights Mbe Soh's continuous progression in his career, transitioning from top academies to different European football landscapes, and now embarking on a new challenge with Sparta Prague.
