Édouard Léopold Cissé (born 30 March 1978) is a French former footballer who played as a midfielder.
Cissé was born in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques in southwest France.[2]
Cissé made his breakthrough at his boyhood club Pau FC in 1997.
Cissé previously played for AS Monaco FC in France and West Ham[4] in the English Premiership (where he scored once against Charlton Athletic)[5] and Paris Saint-Germain. On 28 June 2007, it was confirmed that Cissé had signed a two-year contract (with an option of a third) with Beşiktaş J.K. of Turkey for a fee of €1.5 million per annum. He played well with Fabian Ernst and left the club on 3 June 2009 to sign with Olympique de Marseille. On 18 August 2011, he joined AJ Auxerre on a two-year contract. After two years at the club he left in 2013.
Cissé played for the France under-20 and under-21 teams. Having Senegalese ancestry, he became eligible to play for the Senegal national football team in 2009 after a change in FIFA regulations. He was called up to friendly match against South Korea, but rejected the call saying that he would rather clarify some points,[6] [7] having not been called up again.
