Bayo made 12 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille in the 2024–25 season, scoring twice. He originally signed for Les Nordistes in July 2023 on a five-year deal, but has spent a significant portion of his time out on loan.
During the 2023–24 campaign, he enjoyed a productive spell with Le Havre AC, where he scored five goals in 23 Ligue 1 appearances.
