Born in Bingerville, Koné was a youth product of local ES Bingerville. He moved to Racing de Santander in 2010 at the age of 18 for just €240,000, being initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División. [1] He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 15 October 2011, starting in a 3–0 away loss against FC Barcelona. [2] [1]
Koné was definitely promoted to the Cantabrians' main squad for the 2012–13 season. He scored five goals in 35 Segunda División appearances, and the club suffered a second consecutive relegation; [3] his first came on 22 September 2012, the only at CD Mirandés. [4]
Koné netted 18 times in the 2013–14 campaign, helping to a return to the second tier at the first attempt. [5] On 17 February 2015, as he again was team top scorer, he suffered a serious knee injury, being sidelined for six months. [6]
On 18 August 2015, Koné moved to Real Oviedo of the same league in a one-year loan, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. [7] On 25 August of the following year, he signed a permanent five-year contract with top-flight CD Leganés. [8]
Koné moved to the Belgian Pro League on 10 January 2018, being loaned to K.A.S. Eupen until June. [9] On 17 August, he returned to Spain and its second division after joining Málaga CF also in a temporary deal. [10]
On 19 July 2019, Koné signed with Deportivo de La Coruña on another one-year loan. [11] [12] He scored on his debut on 18 August to help the hosts defeat his former side Oviedo 3–2, [13] but the season ended in relegation to the Segunda División B. [14]
Koné returned to Eupen in the summer of 2020, on a two-year contract. [15] On 7 June 2022, he stayed in Belgium but dropped down to the Challenger Pro League on a two-year deal at K.M.S.K. Deinze. [16]
