Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast Gosso started his career at Stella Club d'Adjamé. In 2004, he moved to Wydad Casablanca in Morocco until the end of his contract in 2006. After that he traveled to Israel to discuss terms with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2006. Due to financial constraints at the club, they were unable to come up the player's financial requirements.

Orduspor

[edit]

Gosso signed a three-year contract with the Turkish Süper Lig club Orduspor in July 2011. On 18 October 2012, Gosso left the club after his contract was terminated two years early by mutual consent.[3]

After finishing the 2012–2013 season at Mersin İdmanyurdu, Gosso signed a one-year contract at Ankara's Gençlerbirliği.
