Playing style

Kouyaté plays as a left winger and centre forward.[1] Upon signing for Barrow in June 2024, he described himself by saying "I play anywhere across the front three but predominantly on the left or down the middle. I'm a quick and direct player who likes to take people on one versus one, I like to make things happen and I like to get myself on the scoreboard".[6] He has also been praised for his "naturally impressive physique, lightning speed and awe-inspiring power".[10]
