Olympiacos

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

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 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.
