Seydou Koné (born 28 February 1983) is an Ivorian former professional footballer who played as a striker.[1]
Born in Marcory, Ivory Coast, Koné played youth football in his native country before starting his senior career in Burkina Faso with Racing Club Kadiogo, where he spent five seasons. After spells in Romania with Botoșani and Internațional Curtea, he moved to Portugal in 2009 to join União Leiria.
