Club career

In his youth years, Assehnoun played for Pitäjänmäen Tarmo, HJK Helsinki, Pallokerho-35, PK-35 Vantaa and FC Espoo.[2] His first senior team was FC Espoo, competing in the third-tier Kakkonen.

In July 2021, he signed a one-year contract with Dutch club FC Emmen.[4]

In July 2023, Assehnoun joined newly promoted Danish club Vejle on a two-year deal.[5] After half a year at Vejle, Assehnoun was loaned out to Super League Greece side Volos FC until June 2024 without any purchase options.[6][7] In the summer of 2024, Assehnoun returned to Vejle.[8] On 5 July 2024, he signed with Volos on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.[9]

International career

A former youth international, Assehnoun was called up to the Finland national football team for the UEFA Euro 2020 pre-tournament friendly match against Sweden on 29 May 2021.[10] He made his national team debut in that game, as a starter.[11]

On 25 May 2022, it was reported that Assehnoun had declined an invitation from the Finland national team head coach Markku Kanerva, and had considered switching his allegiance to represent Morocco.[12] On 14 September 2022, it was confirmed by Kanerva that Assehnoun was aiming for the Morocco national team.[13]
