Born in Akroukro, Ivory Coast, Yao was signed by fellow Serie A club Inter Milan from Parma in January 2012. The club sold the 50% registration rights of Jacopo Galimberti (€500,000) and Diego Mella (€500,000) for the 50% registration rights of Yao (€1 million). Yao spent the rest of the 2011–12 season with Parma's youth team. Yao was a member of Inter's under-17 team in 2012–13 season; he was promoted to the reserve team in 2013. In June 2013, Yao's co-ownership contract was renewed; Inter also bought back Galimberti and Mella in €1.75 million cash plus the remain 50% rights of Nwankwo.
In June 2014 Parma bought back Ishak Belfodil for €5.75 million from Inter, with Lorenzo Crisetig (€4.75 million) and Yao (€1 million) moved to Inter outright.
On 10 July 2015, Yao was signed by Crotone in a temporary deal.
