Ibrahima Touré (born 17 December 1985) is a Senegalese former professional footballer who played as a forward for Chengdu Wuniu, Wydad Casablanca, Paykan, Persepolis, Sepahan, Ajman, Monaco, Al Nasr, Liaoning Whowin, and Gazélec Ajaccio. He made four appearances for the Senegal national team.
Born in Dakar,[1] Touré played for the Academy Gentina Aldo during his youth.[3] He spent one month with Metz during the 2004–05 season, an experience that he described as leaving "a bitter taste".[3] In February 2005, as a part of a co-operation project between Metz and the Chengdu Football Association, Touré moved to China League One side Chengdu Wuniu on a free transfer.[4] Wearing the number 10 shirt,[5] he scored two goals in 18 league games during the 2005 season. Touré was also sent off twice.[6] [7]
After spending time in China, Touré joined Wydad Casablanca.[1] [3] Two years later, he joined Paykan on loan and scored 13 goals in 21 matches during the 2007–08 Iran Pro League campaign.[1] [8] Touré was transferred to Persepolis in 2008 and scored 11 league goals in his only season with the club.[1] [9] He moved to Sepahan in 2009 and helped the club win the Iran Pro League in successive seasons, scoring 18 goals in both campaigns.[1] [2] Touré was signed by United Arab Emirates club Ajman in 2011 and continued to score regularly.[1] He had scored 14 goals in 16 league and cup matches by January 2012,[2] which led to interest from other clubs.[3] Touré joined Ligue 2 side Monaco later that month for an undisclosed fee,[3] [10] [11] and scored ten goals in 17 league appearances during the second half of the 2011–12 season.[2]
The following season, Touré played in 35 league games and scored 18 goals,[2] which helped Monaco win the Ligue 2 championship and promotion back to Ligue 1.[12] [13]
On 14 August 2013, Touré signed for Al Nasr of the UAE Pro-League.[14]
