Biography

Youth career

Chievo

Born in Magbehigouepa, Ouragahio, Fromager region, Tallo was a nephew of former footballer Saint-Joseph Gadji-Celi.[4] and son of Mathieu Tallo Gadji.[2] Tallo started his Italian career at Veneto-based club Chievo, where he played for the reserves in the National "Spring" League from January 2010 to January 2011. He played the last five reserve games of 2009–10 season as one of the starting forward (re-scheduled round 13 on 1 April and round 23 to 26), whereupon Chievo lost to eventual champions Genoa in the quarter-finals of the playoffs. Tallo only played once in the playoffs, scored a goal in the first leg of the round 16 victory over Roma 2–0. Chievo went on to eliminate Roma 3–1 on aggregate.

In April 2010, Tallo received the number 49 shirt on Chievo's first-team squad.[5][6]

Tallo only played once in the reserve league for Chievo in 2010–11 season (on 16 October 2010, round 5). Instead, Tallo played in pre-season friendlies for the first team.[7][8][9][10] In November 2010, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Internazionale had agreed a deal with Tallo.[citation needed] Chievo signed Said from Inter on 31 August 2010 already as potential replacement for the reserve.

Internazionale

On 13 January 2011, Tallo was exchanged with Jakub Vojtuš of Inter.[11] As Inter already had Simone Dell'Agnello (centre forward), Denis Alibec (forward), Mame Baba Thiam (forward) and Andrea Lussardi (wing forward) in its reserves, Tallo did not had much chance to start. Nonetheless, he still scored two goals in six league appearances, although he did not make any appearances during the playoffs. Inter was eliminated by Milan in the second round.

Roma

In August 2011, Tallo was signed by Roma on a temporary deal. He scored 18 goals in 16 league appearances in the reserve league group stage to finish as the team's top-scorer, just one goal behind Group C topscorer Gonzalo Barreto of Lazio as the joint second-top-scorer of that group, alongside Mauro Bollino of Palermo. In the overall scoring table, Gianmario Comi (Milan) was the top-scorer with 25 goals, and followed by Filippo Moscati (Livorno, 21 goals), Barreto and Mauro Icardi (Sampdoria), made Tallo ranked equal fifth overall.

Roma qualified to quarter-finals of the playoffs directly as Group C winner, with 70 points in 26 games (22 wins and 4 draws). Roma also won 2011–12 Italian "Spring" Cup. Tallo and Viviani scored one goal each against Juventus in the first leg of the finals on 8 March 2012. Roma was beaten by the Old Lady in 2012 Carnival Cup on 20 February 2012.[12] In the "Spring" reserve league, Roma was eliminated by Lazio in semi-finals. Tallo did not scored any goal in the 2 appearances.

Tallo was awarded number 26 shirt for Roma's first-team in March 2012.[13] On 9 March, he was included in the first-team squad for the first time.[14] After the Roma reserves finished the group stage of the league and had a break until 2 June as the reserve had a bye to quarter-finals, Tallo made his first team debut when he appearing on 25 April 2012 against Fiorentina as a substitute for defender Gabriel Heinze. At the time, the score was level at 1–1, with manager Luis Enrique looking to provide an offensive spark. Roma, however, lost the match after a late goal from Fiorentina's Andrea Lazzari. Roma was doomed from the sixth to seventh, two points short with Internazionale and Udinese (fifth and sixth at that time), with all three teams competing for a European berth.

In the next match, Tallo replaced Bojan in the second half, at that time losing 1–2 to Napoli, another competitor for the berth. Before the match, Roma had lost Érik Lamela, who was serving the second game of a three-matche ban, and Dani Osvaldo, who was serving the first of a two-match ban, due to suspension; they were forced to use the out-of-favour Bojan. Tallo assisted Fábio Simplício for the equalizing goal, enough to secure a 2–2 draw for Roma and to keep them in contention to chase Lazio, Napoli, Inter and Udinese for Europe; Roma trailed just four points behind, in seventh. Tallo made his third and successive substitute appearance on 1 May, a 0–0 draw against Chievo in Verona; he replaced Bojan at half-time.

On 22 June 2012, Roma purchased Tallo in a co-ownership deal from Chievo for €1 million.

International career

Tallo played for the Ivory Coast in the qualification for 2011 U20 African Cup of Nations against Tanzania (twice, also his debut).[15][16][17][18] and against Gambia.[19]

After the U20 team was eliminated from U20 African Cup of Nations, Tallo was capped for the U23 team against Morocco.[20]

Tallo made his debut for the senior national team, coming off the bench in a 2–1 win against the Democratic Republic of Congo during the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification. He was part of the Ivory Coast squad that won the competition, appearing in four matches as a substitute. Tallo entered the final match with a few seconds left in the second-half of extra time to be one of the five first penalty takers, but missed his chance from the spot kick.[21]

Personal life

Tallo Jr. is the cousin of Guy-Ange Gadji-Celi.[2] Guy played for Académie de Sol Beni.
