Cissoko joined NEC Nijmegen in 2016 after he had been at VVV-Venlo and had been expelled from the Vitesse Arnhem academy for unprofessional behaviour. He signed his first professional contract with NEC in January 2021.[1][2] Cissoko made his Eredivisie debut in a 1-0 lost away match at FC Utrecht on 29 April 2021. A transfer to FC Dordrecht fell through in the summer of 2021 despite being announced prematurely by Dordrecht.[3] He scored his first league goal on 8 May 2022 against Go Ahead Eagles in a late 1-0 victory. He signed a new contract in July 2022 with NEC Nijmegen to take him with the club to the summer of 2024 with the option of an extra season.[4] He scored his first league goal of the 2022-23 season on 26 August 2022 against FC Groningen, another late goal, this time an 88th equaliser in a 1-1 draw.[5]
Cissoko has been described as a quick winger who has the potential to form formidable and pacey partnerships up front.[6]
Born in the Netherlands, Cissoko is of Guinean descent.[7]
