Salim "Sam" Cissé (born 24 December 1992) is a Guinean footballer who plays for Portuguese club S.C. Olhanense as a forward.

Club career

Born in Conakry, Cissé started playing football when he was already 18. He moved to Italy with his parents in 2011, to escape the political situation in his homeland, and started playing the sport with lower league side U.S. Arezzo, based in Tuscany.[1]

In the 2012 summer, Cissé switched to Portugal, signing for three years with Primeira Liga club Académica de Coimbra. He appeared in 41 official games in his first season as a professional and scored nine goals – second-best in the squad only behind Edinho – netting twice in six appearances in the team's campaign in the UEFA Europa League.[2]

Cissé continued in the country for 2013–14, penning a five-year contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal.[3] He spent his first season, however, mainly registered with the reserves in the second level.[4]

On 20 January 2014, Cissé was loaned out to fellow top division side F.C. Arouca until June.[5] Still in that level and still owned by Sporting, he went on to represent Académica and Vitória de Setúbal.

On 31 August 2016, Cissé signed for S.C. Olhanense.[6]

Personal life

Cissé is a practicing Muslim.[1]
