Ibrahima Touré (born 17 December 1985) is a Senegalese footballer who plays as a striker for Liaoning Whowin in the Chinese Super League. He also played for Al Nasr , Chengdu Wuniu, Wydad Casablanca, Paykan, Persepolis, Sepahan, Ajman and Monaco. He also plays for the Senegal national football team.
Born in Dakar, Touré played for the Academy Gentina Aldo during his youth. He spent one month with Metz during the 2004–05 season, an experience that he described as leaving "a bitter taste". 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. Wearing the number 10 shirt, he scored two goals in 18 league games during the 2005 season. Touré was also sent off twice.
After spending time in China, Touré joined Wydad Casablanca. Two years later, he joined Paykan on loan and scored 13 goals in 21 matches during the 2007–08 Iran Pro League campaign. Touré was transferred to Persepolis in 2008 and scored 11 league goals in his only season with the club. He moved to Sepahan in 2009 and helped the club win the Iran Pro League in successive seasons, scoring 18 goals in both campaigns. Touré was signed by United Arab Emirates club Ajman in 2011 and continued to score regularly. He had scored 14 goals in 16 league and cup matches by January 2012, which led to interest from other clubs. Touré joined Ligue 2 side Monaco later that month for an undisclosed fee, and scored ten goals in 17 league appearances during the second half of the 2011–12 season.
