Club career
Sasso was born in Saint-Cloud, Paris. On 18 June 2008, he signed his first professional contract with FC Nantes. He made his professional debut on 31 July 2010 in a 2–4 penalty shootout away loss against US Boulogne for the first round of the Coupe de la Ligue,[1] and went on to spend two years with the first team in Ligue 1, contributing with 20 games to a ninth-place in 2011–12.
In the summer of 2012, Sasso joined S.C. Beira-Mar in Portugal for three years.[2] He scored his first goal for the Aveiro club on 6 October, putting the visitors ahead in an eventual 1–2 defeat at S.L. Benfica;[3] his team would eventually suffer relegation, but he had already left in late January 2013 to fellow Primeira Liga side S.C. Braga, on a contract until June 2017.[4]
On 30 June 2015, Sasso was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday from the English Championship in a season-long move.[5] After making only 18 competitive appearances, he left.[6]
In August 2016, Sasso rejoined Wednesday after signing a permanent one-year contract.[7] He returned to Portugal and its top division in the following off-season, agreeing to a two-year deal at C.F. Os Belenenses as a free agent.[8]
Sasso moved to the Swiss Super League on 17 June 2019, signing with Servette FC for three seasons.[9]
