Club career

Slovácko

In February 2017, during a match against Bohemians 1905, Koné saved the life of opposing goalkeeper Martin Berkovec by preventing him from swallowing his tongue after he was knocked unconscious. Koné was labelled a hero and in an interview after the match revealed that it was the fourth time he saved a player's life by pulling out their tongue.[3][4] For his act, he was awarded the 2017 FIFA Fair Play Award.

Kuala Lumpur City F.C.

In January 2020, Kone signed for Kuala Lumpur City. The club was recently relegated from the top division and was looking to strengthen the team forward line. Kone scored on his debut for Kuala Lumpur FA in the 89th minutes, giving Kuala Lumpur a valuable point. He scored two more goals in the next 3 matches before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the league to be suspended. Despite the reduced number of games played due to the pandemic, he still managed to become the team's top goal scorer by the end of the season.
