Club career

Sasso was born in Saint-Cloud, Paris. [2] On 18 June 2008, he signed his first professional contract with FC Nantes. He made his professional debut on 31 July 2010 in a 4–2 penalty shootout away loss against US Boulogne in the first round of the Coupe de la Ligue, [3] [4] and went on to spend two seasons with the first team in Ligue 2, contributing 20 games to a 13th place in 2010–11. [5]

In summer 2012, Sasso joined S.C. Beira-Mar in Portugal for three years. [6] He scored his first goal for the Aveiro club on 6 October, putting the visitors ahead in an eventual 2–1 defeat at S.L. Benfica. [7] His team went on to suffer relegation, [8] but he had already left in late January 2013 to fellow Primeira Liga side S.C. Braga, on a contract until June 2017. [9]

On 30 June 2015, Sasso was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday from the English Championship in a season-long move. [10] After making only 18 competitive appearances, he left. [11]

In August 2016, Sasso rejoined Wednesday after signing a permanent one-year contract. [12] He returned to Portugal and its top division the following off-season, agreeing to a two-year deal at C.F. Os Belenenses as a free agent; [13] he also represented the renamed B-SAD. [14]

Sasso moved to the Swiss Super League on 17 June 2019, signing with Servette FC for three seasons. [15] He played his first match in the competition on 21 July in a 1–1 draw away to BSC Young Boys, [16] and scored his first goal on 31 August as the hosts drew 2–2 against Neuchâtel Xamax FCS after being 2–0 down. [17]

On 7 June 2022, Sasso returned to the Portuguese top tier, on a two-year contract at Boavista FC. [18] He scored a career-best four league goals in his debut campaign from 27 official games, but subsequently played second-fiddle to Rodrigo Abascal and Chidozie Awaziem. [19]

International career

Sasso won caps for France at youth level. [20] His only for the under-21s was on 2 June 2011, as a late substitute in the 1–0 friendly win over Serbia in Rouen. [21] [5]
