Although it was the 2017 Under-20 World Cup where he attracted more interest from Europe. He was part of the Mali squad that was knocked out in the Quarter-finals against a talented Italy side, scoring three and assisting three in the process.
On January 1, 2018–6 months after the U20 World Cup — Koita joined FC Liefering, Red Bull Salzburg’s development team. However he missed the majority of the first six months in Austria after suffering a ligament tear, scoring one goal during the 2017/18 season.
Despite scoring just the one goal in the Austrian Bundesliga during the opening half of the 2018/19 season, he was sent out on loan in January to first division side Wolfsberger AC, where he found form, scoring five and assisting four times, meaning he was a direct contributor to 28% of their goals, which is some going as a 19-year-old in half a season.
After an impressive start to the 2019/20 season, scoring six goals in Salzburg’s opening eleven games Koita missed a month of action due to injury and struggled to get back into the goal scoring form from the start of the season — suffering another injury which meant he missed a total of nine games last season.
So far this season the 24 year-old is enjoying his most consistent period in the Salzburg team, scoring 12 times in just 15 league games already this campaign, with five assists to go alongside that — he seems to be back on track with his progression.

After Ousmane Diakité, who has just signed for West Bromwich Albion, another now ex-resident of RB Salzburg, is about to join England.
Indeed, things are really moving for Sékou Koïta, who has already reached an agreement with Everton, according to information from Africafoot. Free from any contract, the 24-year-old is just waiting for a few details to sign his contract with the Toffees.
Barring an extraordinary turnaround, Sékou Koïta should now continue his career in the English Premier League, after more than five years of hard and loyal service at Red Bull Salzburg. Everton would have accepted all requests, according to a source very close to the player. At the Toffees, Kita's child should not feel out of place... He will certainly find his compatriot Abdoulaye Doucouré, who is now an executive in this team.
Sékou Koïta will also share the same championship with other Eagles, like Cheick Doucouré (Crystal Palace), Yves Bissouma (Tottenham) or Boubacar Traoré “El Pheno” (Wolverhampton). A new challenge for this young player whose career was briefly hampered by injuries, but who is starting to regain his best level. He also ended the season with a double in Salzburg's big victory against LASK (7-1).
Remember that other clubs also remain on the lookout for Sékou Koita’s file. These include the Germans from Vfb Stuttgart, the French from Racing Club de Lens and the Russians from CSKA Moscow.
