Mamadou Koné (born 25 December 1991) is an Ivorian footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Oviedo on loan from Racing de Santander as a forward.
Football career
Born in Bingerville, Koné was a youth product of local ES Bingerville. He moved to Racing de Santander in 2010 at the age of 18, for just €240,000, being initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[1] He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 15 October 2011, starting in a 0–3 away loss against FC Barcelona.[2]
Koné was definitely promoted to the Cantabrians' main squad for the 2012–13 season. He scored five goals in 36 Segunda División appearances, and the club suffered a second consecutive relegation; his first came on 22 September 2012, the only at CD Mirandés.[3]
Koné scored 18 goals in the 2013–14 campaign, helping to a return to the second level at the first attempt. On 17 February 2015, as he again was team top scorer, he suffered a serious knee injury, being sidelined for six months.[4]
On 18 August 2015, Koné moved to fellow league team Real Oviedo in a one-year loan deal, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.[5]
