Oumare Tounkara (born 25 May 1990) is a French footballer who currently plays for Châteauroux as a striker.
Tounkara began his career at French side Sedan, before attracting the interest of Premier League club Sunderland. He signed for Sunderland in the summer of 2009. Tounkara had two loan spells at League One side Oldham Athletic, playing regularly during the 2010–11 season and also making a handful of appearances during a much shorter stay towards the latter stages of the 2011–12 campaign. He was released by Sunderland in May 2012, without making any first-team appearances. He briefly returned to France to join Red Star of the Championnat National, but again did not make any appearances. In March 2013, Tounkara joined League Two side Bristol Rovers on a short-term deal, and was released upon the expiry of his contract in May that year. Shortly after, he signed for League One side Stevenage.
Tounkara signed a professional contract with French side Sedan of Ligue 2 ahead of the 2008–09 season, but did not make any first-team appearances during his twelve months with the club. In the summer of 2009, he was invited for a trial at Premier League side Sunderland, and subsequently joined the club on a permanent basis in July 2009 having impressed in several of the reserve team's pre-season friendly fixtures. He struggled with persistent injuries during his first season at Sunderland, making thirteen appearances for the club's second-string, but did not make any first-team appearances. Shortly after the 2009–10 campaign, Tounkara signed a two-year contract extension with the club, keeping him contracted to Sunderland until the summer of 2012.
