He began his career, like so many other Côte d'Ivoire footballers, at the famed ASEC Abidjan youth academy, before moving to Europe and Belgian club K.S.K. Beveren.

He was touted as the next big thing at the FIFA World Youth Championships 2003, alongside Arouna Koné, now of Spanish La Liga side Sevilla.
