Career

Club career

In 2019, Cissé signed for the reserves of Spanish La Liga side Celta, where manager Jacobo Montes said he "has a major drawback, and that is that he does not speak Spanish and he has a significant communication problem. He only speaks French and it is not a language that the members of the coaching staff speak".[2] In 2021, he was sent on loan to Arenteiro in the Spanish fourth division.[3]

In 2021, Cissé signed for French second division club Quevilly-Rouen.[4] On 28 August 2021, he debuted for Quevilly-Rouen during a 0-1 loss to Paris FC.[5]

On 13 August 2022, he joined Polish I liga side Górnik Łęczna on a two-year contract.[6]

He represented Senegal at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[5]
