Playing in France with Montpellier Hérault Sport Club, Bakayoko was rated highly enough by then Everton manager Walter Smith that Smith was willing to pay £4.5m for Bakayoko's services in October 1998. However, he failed to impress in the 23 games he played, only finding the net 4 times. He was sold for £4m in June 1999 to Olympique de Marseille.
A spell in Spain with Osasuna followed, before Bakayoko returned for a third spell in France, this time representing FC Istres, before he moved over the Alps to Italy, first with Livorno and then with Messina.
On January 28, 2007 he played his first Serie A match for Messina against Ascoli [1]
In the summer of 2007 he joined Greek Superleague outfit AE Larissa. On 20th September 2007 he scored from 30 yards for his new side in the UEFA Cup first round first leg against English Premiership side Blackburn.
