Club career

Sissoko was born in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Hauts-de-Seine.[1] He signed for Udinese in 2006. In 2007–08 and 2008–09 season he left for Celano and Gallipoli Calcio,[3] but returned to Udinese in mid-season twice. He played at Campionato Nazionale Primavera 2008–09 season as overage player.[4] He made his debut on the professional level in the 2008/09 season in Lega Pro Prima Divisione for Gallipoli Calcio. Sissoko spent the 2009–10 season on loan at Eupen.[2]

Sissoko scored his first goal for Kilmarnock in a 6–2 win over Airdrie United in the second round of the Scottish League Cup.[10] Since joining Kilmarnock, Sissoko says his desire is to stay in Scotland, due to Italian hooligans – as a citing reason to stay in Scotland.[11] On 20 November 2010, Sissoko received a red card – for the first time in his Scottish career – in a 3–2 loss against Rangers.

After being priced out of a permanent move for the player,[12] Kilmarnock were eventually allowed to re-sign Sissoko on another season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day in August 2011.[13] Sissoko scored his first goal in his second loan spell at Kilmarnock in a 2–0 win over East Fife in the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup. On 18 March, he played in the 2012 Scottish League Cup Final which Kilmarnock won after beating Celtic 1–0.[14]
