Richard Kone, born on 15 July 2003 (age 23), is an Ivory Coast striker whose senior career has so far been shaped chiefly at Queens Park Rangers. Wearing number 22, he has given QPR a focal point through the middle rather than a vague attacking project.
His best league return came in 2025-26, when he scored 10 goals in 43 appearances for Queens Park Rangers. Across two league seasons with the club, he has made 46 appearances and scored 10 goals, which is where his professional profile has properly taken form.
In 2026-27, Kone has made three Championship appearances, along with one FA Cup appearance in which he scored, and one League Cup appearance. His market value is around £510,000, according to Transfermarkt.
At this stage, Kone’s career is a QPR story: a developing striker with a productive 2025-26 season behind him and a place in the squad as he works through the next stage of his progress.
