The 20-year-old Senegalese centre-back was in Spain for only 4 months before, on 14 July 2024, he was signed by Austrian Football Bundesliga club Lask.

Cissé played 5 matches for the club's B-team in the Austrian Regionalliga before being moved to the first team.

He made his professional debut on 23 February 2025, in a 2:1 league victory over Rapid Vienna.

On 19 July 2025, English club Aston Villa announced that they had come to an agreement for the signing of Cissé in the summer of 2026, with the defender remaining at the Austrian club until then.

It was reported that the transfer fee was around £4 million. Cissé trained with the Aston Villa side during the Austrian league's winter break in December 2025.

Lask won the league and cup with Cissé appearing 30 times over the season.

Aston Villa
Cissé joined Aston Villa in July 2026 as per the terms of the contract agreed upon one year prior.
