Career

AFC Wimbledon

Sasu was called up to attend the training camps for the Norway under-16s team in January 2020.[2] He made his debut for AFC Wimbledon on 26 October 2021, in a 2–0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the EFL Trophy.[3]

Sasu scored the first professional goal of his career in a 5–2 victory for AFC Wimbledon against Portsmouth at Fratton Park on 19 December, 2023, a result that sent The Dons into the last 16 of the EFL Trophy.[4] After the game, AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson described Sasu as "a menace the way he got at them", going on to state that "Sasu was brilliant during pre-season and he forced our hand to keep him around the group."[5]
