Biography
Alexy Bosetti was born in 1993 to a Niçois family of Italian origins. He is the great grandnephew of the composer and pianist Henri Betti and of the opera singer Freda Betti.
Early career
A member of the Populaire Sud since his early years as a native of Vieux-Nice, the young striker was a member of the Cavigal Nice Sports and J.S.O Villefranche-sur-Mer youth academies before committing to OGC Nice. An excellent dribbler, Bosetti has since played as either an attacking midfielder or a striker. He won the 2011–2012 edition of the Coupe Gambardella with U19 team of OGC Nice on 28 April 2012.
Nice
Bosetti made his professional debut with Nice on 20 May 2012 in a league match against Olympique Lyonnais making a substitute appearance in the 86th minute of play. He scored his first professional goal against Montpellier HSC in the quarter finals of the 19th edition of the Coupe de la Ligue on 28 November 2012. On 6 April 2013, at Stadium Municipal, he collected the first red card of his career after a tackle on Cheikh M'Bengue of Toulouse FC.
On 22 September 2013, Bosetti became the first native of Nice to score a goal at the Allianz Riviera during the inaugural match against Valenciennes FC. On 13 September 2014, he scored a stoppage-time winner in a 1–0 home victory over Metz.
Tours (loan)
On 15 July 2015, Bosetti joined FC Tours on loan, without an option to buy. He scored a goal in his first friendly, securing a 1–1 draw against Chamois Niortais F.C. on 24 July 2015. On 21 August 2015, Bosetti scored his first official goal for Tours, helping his side to a 3-1 victory over Auxerre.
Sarpsborg 08 (loan)
In January 2016, Bosetti joined Norwegian side Sarpsborg 08 on loan until the end of season. He scored for Sarpsborg 08 on 13 April 2016 in a 5-0 victory over Ås in a Norwegian Cup match. His loan was cut short early in April after playing in just two league matches in three months with the club. Having been loaned out to Tours in the first half the season, he was not eligible to play for Nice during the rest of the season.
Return to Nice
After a short loan spell he returned to Nice, but did not feature regularly for the first team. On 8 December 2016, he scored his first goal in Europe for Nice, helping the club to a 2–1 win over FC Krasnodar in a Europa League match. During the 2016–17 season he played primarily for Nice II, scoring 10 goals in 21 appearances in the Championnat de France Amateur.
International career
On 13 July 2013, 15 years and one day after the victory of France at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Bosetti won the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup with the France U-20 team. The final in Istanbul against Uruguay was decided in a penally shootout with France winning 4–1.
