Career

Born in Huesca, Aragon to Malian parents, Tounkara began his career with hometown side SD Huesca before moving to Deportivo Alavés in 2021.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 9 September 2023, starting in a 1–0 Tercera Federación home win over SD Beasain, and scored his first goal fourteen days later, netting the opener in a 5–1 home routing of Touring KE.

On 16 July 2024, Tounkara signed for Córdoba CF and was initially assigned to the reserves also in the fifth division.[2] He made his first team debut the following 2 May, coming on as a late substitute for Isma Ruiz in a 4–2 Segunda División home win over Cádiz CF.[3][4]

On 15 August 2025, Tounkara was loaned to Primera Federación side Atlético Sanluqueño CF for one year.[5] Despite being an undisputed starter, he moved to fellow league team AD Alcorcón also in a temporary deal on 30 January 2026.[6]

On 24 July 2026, Tounkara moved to SD Ponferradina also in division three.[7]
