Ibrahima Bakayoko (born December 31, 1976 in Seguela) is a striker for the Côte d'Ivoire. He currently plays for Italian Serie A side F.C. Messina Peloro.
Playing in France with Montpellier Hérault Sport Club, Bakayoko was rated highly enough by then Everton manager Walter Smith that Smith was willing to pay £4.5m for Bakayoko's services in October 1998. However, he failed to impress in the 23 games he played, only finding the net 4 times. He was sold for £4m in June 1999 to Olympique de Marseille.
A spell in Spain with CA Osasuna followed, before Bakayoko returned for a third spell in France, this time representing FC Istres, before he moved over the Alps to Italy, first with A.S. Livorno Calcio, before joining his current employers in 2005.
On January 28, 2007 he played his first Serie A match for Messina against Ascoli [1]
