Club career

Torino

He started playing for Torino's under-19 team in the 2017–18 season.[2]

He also received occasional call-ups to the senior squad during the 2017–18 Serie A and 2018–19 Serie A seasons, but did not make any appearances.[3]

Loan to Cosenza

On 3 August 2019 he joined Serie B club Cosenza on a season-long loan.[4] He made his Serie B debut for Cosenza on 31 August 2019 in a game against Salernitana. He substituted Riccardo Idda in the 79th minute.[5] He missed most of the 2019–20 season due to cruciate ligament rupture.

On 15 September 2020, the loan was renewed for the 2020–21 season.[6]

Return to Torino

After returning to Torino for the 2021–22 season, Kone made his debut for the club on 17 October 2021, coming on as a substitute for the injured Rolando Mandragora in a 1–0 away loss to Napoli. He was replaced again in injury time for Magnus Warming.[7]
