Club career

Playing for AS Real Bamako, Cissé finished the 2013–14 season as Malian Première Division joint top scorer, with 15 goals.[3] His goal in the away leg against Enyimba helped his club proceed to the second qualifying round of the 2014 CAF Champions League on away goals.,[4][5] Although Real lost in that round, they were able to qualify for the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup group stage.[6]

Cissé signed for Malian champions Stade Malien for the new season. He played and scored for them in the 2015 CAF Champions League,[7] and, as in the previous season, failed to reach the main competition but qualified for the Confederation Cup group stage.[8]

He moved on to reigning Moroccan champions Wydad Casablanca ahead of the 2015–16 season.[9] He scored twice in the second match of the season in a 3–1 defeat of 2015 runners-up Olympique Club de Khouribga.[10] After some confusion about his destination,[11] Cissé spent the second half of the season on loan at AS Salé of the Moroccan second tier.

He joined Albanian Superliga club KF Tirana ahead of the 2016–17 season,[12] signing a two-year contract. However, Wydad Casablanca claimed he was still under contract to them. The player appealed to FIFA, who ruled that he was free to play for KF Tirana,[13] and he finally made his debut on 16 October in a 2–1 win against Skënderbeu.[14]

International career

Cissé has represented his country in the qualification process for the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations, which doubled as qualifiers for the 2016 Olympics,[15] and, at senior level, in the 2016 CHAN qualifiers.[16]
