Sissoko was born in Montreuil, France. In the 2011–12 season he was given the number 1 jersey at Metz.[2]
After a four-year spell in Metz, Sissoko signed a three-year contract with Ligue 1 side Ajaccio in June 2012. After the expiration of his contract, Ajaccio decided not to renew it; thus, he became a free agent.[3]
