In 2007 Sapol was voted by the English magazine World Soccer as the 30th "Most Exciting Teen Footballer" in 2007.[1]

Sapol began his career in the youth from Maranatha FC,[2] before in 2007 transferred to Maranatha F.C., a Fiokpo based club, there he played for two years before being sold to Al-Ittihad from Tripoli.[3] The Togolese young prodigy is currently overseen by PSG and Monaco, the club Ittihad have already rejected initials offers from both French teams.

On 3 January 2010 Sapol scored the winner in a 1–0 victory over Al-Ahli Tripoli, Al-Ittihad's major rivals in the Libyan Premier League.[4] On 2 January 2012 Sapol signed for Algerian club CA Batna. On 28 January 2012 he made his debut for the club as a starter in a league game against MC Saïda.[5]

International A at only 16 years, he participated in a tournament with players such Adébayor, Essien and Muntari. He is a genius of dribbling and passing. He played FIFA U17 Worldcup in Korea in 2007.[8]

Sapol announced his arrival in Korea with a sharp turn and stunning drive into the bottom corner in Togo's opener against Costa Rica. This industrious midfielder can make as well as score goals; he gets from box to box, and is as happy breaking up play as he is good at initiating it. Sapol had a magnificent tournament. He has played his first game for the Les Eperviers on 11 October 2008 against Swaziland.[citation needed]

Sapol was a victim of a serious car accident on 14 November 2009 in Togo. [1]
