Born in Brazzaville, Makosso spent his early career in the Congo with Ajax de Moungali and CARA Brazzaville.[1]

Sochaux

[edit]

On 17 March 2023, Makosso joined French Ligue 2 club Sochaux.[2] Initially playing for their reserve team in the Championnat National 3 and Under-19's team, he made his first-team debut for the club on 6 May 2023 as a substitute against Amiens. He signed his first professional contract on 16 May – a three-year deal with the club.[3]

RWDM

[edit]

On 25 January 2024, Makosso joined Belgian Pro League side RWDM on a four-year contract.[4][5] He made 10 appearances in his first season at the club, ending with a relegation to the Challenger Pro League. He went on to make 13 further appearances in the second-tier, as well as scoring his first career goal.

Luton Town

[edit]

In January 2025, Makosso was signed by EFL Championship club Luton Town.[6][7] He made his debut for the club on 23 February 2025, in a 2–0 derby defeat against Watford.[8] Although the 2024–25 season ended in disappointment as the club suffered a second consecutive relegation, Makosso's impact following his arrival saw him named both Young Player of the Season and Signing of the Season at the club's awards night.[9]

In January 2026, Makosso joined Championship club Oxford United on loan until the end of the season, joining up with his former Luton Town manager Matt Bloomfield.[10][11]

Auxerre

In July 2026 he returned to France, siging with Auxerre.[12][13]

After playing for, and captaining, the country's youth teams,[2] Makosso made his international debut for Congo on 4 September 2022 in an African Nations Championship second round qualifier against Central African Republic, ending with a 1–0 win.[1]
