Career

Valenciennes

Dossevi joined Valenciennes from Le Mans in the summer of 2010 and played 110 times for them, scoring eleven goals for Ligue 1. On 18 March 2014, Dossevi stated that he would leave Valenciennes at the end of the season.[2]

Olympiacos

In July 2014, Dossevi signed for the Greek champions Olympiakos, for an undisclosed fee.[3][4]

While former manager Michel had been reluctant to play him regularly, new manager Vítor Pereira used him twice in a row in the starting line-up and Dossevi proved his quality by scoring against both Skoda Xanthi and Panetolikos in the Super League Greece.[5]

Standard Liège (loan)

On 1 September 2015, he signed a one-year contract with Standard Liège on loan from Olympiakos.[6]

Standard Liège

In January 2016, Standard Liège exercised its option to sign Dossevi permanently until the summer of 2020, for a transfer fee of €1.3 million.[7]

FC Metz (loan)

On 31 August 2017, he signed a season-long contract with Ligue 1 club FC Metz on loan from Standard Liège while Metz was given an option to purchase the player at the end of the season,[8] and Metz definitively bought Dossevi on 30 May for a transfer fee of €3 million, even though they were relegated to the French second tier.[9]

Toulouse

On 3 August 2018, Dossevi signed for Toulouse on a two-year contract, having been the third best passer of the previous season behind Neymar and Florian Thauvin. The transfer fee paid to Standard Liège was reported as €2.5 million.[10] He left the club upon the expiration of his contract and following Toulouse's relegation from Ligue 1 at the end of the 2019–20 season.

Amiens

On 31 August 2021, he joined Amiens on a one-season deal.[11]

International career
