Club career

Early years

Born in Conakry, Cissé started playing football when he was already 18. He moved to Italy with his parents in 2011, to escape the political situation in his homeland, and started playing the sport with lower league side U.S. Arezzo, based in Tuscany.^[1]

Académica

In summer 2012, Cissé switched to Portugal, signing for three years with Primeira Liga club Académica de Coimbra. He appeared in 41 official games in his first season as a professional and scored nine goals – second-best in the squad only behind Edinho – netting twice in six appearances in the team's campaign in the UEFA Europa League.^[2]

Sporting

Cissé continued in the country for 2013–14, penning a five-year contract with Sporting CP.^[3] He spent his first season, however, mainly registered with the reserves in the Segunda Liga.^[4]

On 20 January 2014, Cissé was loaned out to fellow top flight side F.C. Arouca until June.^[5] Still in that level and still owned by Sporting, he went on to represent Académica^[6] and Vitória de Setúbal.^[7]

Olhanense

On 31 August 2016, Cissé signed for S.C. Olhanense.^[8] He scored twice in the last day of the season to help the hosts defeat F.C. Penafiel 3–1, but they were already relegated to the Campeonato de Portugal after finishing in last place.^[9]

Politehnica Iași

In September 2017, Cissé signed with Romanian Liga I team CSM Politehnica Iași on a two-year deal.^[10] He scored his first goal for his new club on 24 October, contributing to a 2–1 away win over FC Argeș Pitești in the Cupa României.^[11]

Personal life

Cissé is a practicing Muslim.^[1]
