Moussa Sao (born 17 October 1989) is a French-Senegalese professional
Career
Sao played both football and futsal as a youth, but broke through in futsal when spotted by Cannes Bocca. A good season where he was top scorer with 53 goals saw him called up to the France national futsal team, for whom he was selected ten times and scored 14 goals. His success brought attention from professional football clubs, and after a number of trials he signed a two-year deal with Le Havre.[3][4]
Sao made his senior football debut for Le Havre on 2 August 2013, as a second half substitute in a 2–0
In February 2015 Sao joined FC Sochaux-Montbéliard from Le Havre.[4] After three and a half seasons with Sochaux, he signed for Red Star in Ligue 2 in July 2018.[6] In July 2020 he signed with Laval.[7] On 3 September 2021, he moved to Toulon.[8]
