Biography
In 2007–08 and 2008–09 season he left for Celano and Gallipoli Calcio,[2] but returned to Udinese in mid-season twice. He played at Campionato Nazionale Primavera 2008–09 season as overage player.[3]
He made his debut on the professional level in the 2008/09 season in Lega Pro Prima Divisione for Gallipoli Calcio.
Sissoko spent the 2009-10 season on loan at Eupen.[1]
He spent the 2010-11 season on loan at Kilmarnock.[4] On 20 July 2010, he played his first match for Kilmarnock in a 7-1 won against Bideford, a pre-season friendly.[5] Udinese officially announced the loan deal on 12 August.[4][6] and the Scottish club on 18 August.[7] Sissoko scored his first goal for Kilmarnock in a 6-2 win over Airdrie United in the second round of the Scottish League Cup. After being priced out of a permanent move for the player, Kilmarnock were eventually allowed to re-sign Sissoko on another season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day in August 2011.[8] Sissoko scored his first goal in his second loan spell at Kilmarnock in a 2-0 win over East Fife in the quarter finals of the Scottish League Cup.
