Seydou Koné (born on 28 March 1983 in Abidjan) is an Ivorian professional football player who currently plays as a striker for Chamois Niortais.[1]

After playing youth football in his native Côte d'Ivoire, Koné started his senior career in Burkina Faso with Racing Club Kadiogo, where he spent five seasons.[2] After spells in Romania with Botoşani and Internaţional Curtea de Argeş, he moved to Portugal in 2009 to join União Leiria. Koné made just one appearance for the club before transferring to French side Pau FC the following summer.[2] He signed a two-year contract with Nîmes in 2011 after spending one season with Pau and leading the Championnat de France amateur in goals.[3]

Koné spent two years with Nîmes before transferring to ES Uzès Pont du Gard ahead of the 2013–14 season, and six months later he was on the move again, joining FC Istres.[2]
