Club career
Born in Ouagadougou, Zongo began his career with hometown club US Ouagadougou. In October 2010, he moved to Spain and joined UD Almería, being initially assigned to the reserve team in the third division. One month after arriving he suffered a knee injury, going on to miss several weeks.
Zongo made his official debut with the Andalusians' main squad on 13 January 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute for Kalu Uche in a 1–0 home win against Deportivo de La Coruña for the season's Copa del Rey. He played his first game in the second level on 29 January of the following year, against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
Again coming from the bench, Zongo scored his first goals for Almería on 19 May, netting a late brace in a 2–0 home success over AD Alcorcón. For the 2012–13 season he was promoted to the first team and appeared mostly from the bench in early games; however, in January, after the departures of Aarón Ñíguez and Leonardo Ulloa, he began being more utilized in manager Javi Gracia's starting XI as a winger.
On 28 June 2013, Zongo was definitely promoted to Almería's main squad, with the club in La Liga. In August, however, he declined a first-team contract, being again demoted to the reserves; on 12 November he finally agreed to a deal, and extended his link until 2017.
On 4 January 2013, Zongo played his first match in the Spanish top flight, featuring the last 19 minutes in a 3–0 home success over Granada CF and becoming the first Burkinabé footballer to appear in the competition. He scored his first league goal late in the month, netting the game's only in a win against Getafe CF also at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos.
