Club career

Rinascita Refugees

Cissé moved to Italy as a refugee and orphan and was scouted playing for Seconda Categoria club Rinascita Refugees in 2019, a team made of refugees and asylum seekers in Lecce in the eighth tier of Italian football.[2] Whilst at Rinascita Refugees, Cissé scored 18 goals in eight league games for the club.[3]

Atalanta

On 23 February 2022, Cissé signed for Atalanta.[4] He debuted with their reserves in March 2022, scoring three goals in three games.[5] Cissé made his Serie A debut with Atalanta in a 1–0 win over Bologna; coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute, he scored his side's only goal in the 82nd minute.[6][7]

Loans in Serie B

On 5 August 2022, Cissé joined Serie B side Pisa on loan with an option to buy.[8] He subsequently made his debut for the club the following day, starting in a 4–1 Coppa Italia defeat to Brescia.[9]

Having found limited playing time in Tuscany, on 30 January 2023 Cissé was recalled from Pisa by Atalanta, subsequently joining fellow second-tier club Südtirol on loan until the end of the season.[10]
