Cissé signed for Bundesliga side SC Freiburg on 28 December 2009 from FC Metz for €1.62 million. He initially became a transfer TARGET for Freiburg in the summer of 2009 after he scored a goal and assisted on another in a 2–1 friendly win for FC Metz over Freiburg. However, a transfer fee could not be agreed upon. Hannover 96 also expressed interest in the player.[6] In his first partial season with the Black Forest club, Cissé appeared in 16 matches, scoring six goals.
During the 2010–11 Bundesliga season, his first full season with Freiburg, Cissé was second in the league in goals scored, only behind Mario Gómez of Bayern Munich who scored 28. Cissé also set a club and league record; his 22 goals during the course of the season set the single-season goal record by an SC Freiburg player, as well as set the record for the most goals scored by an African in a single Bundesliga season.

Newcastle United[edit]
2011–12 season[edit]
On 21 January 2012, Cissé signed for Newcastle United on a five-and-a-half-year deal for an estimated fee in the region of £9 million, linking up with fellow Senegal strikerDemba Ba in the process.[9] He was subsequently handed the number 9 shirt.[10] On 5 February, Cissé made his debut for Newcastle in the 2–1 league win against Aston Villa atSt James' Park. He replaced the injured Leon Best in the 14th minute before scoring the winning goal in the 71st minute.[11] On 11 February, he made his first start for the club in the 5–0 away league defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.[12] On 25 February, he scored in the 6th minute in a 2–2 home draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[13] On 25 March, he scored two first-half goals in Newcastle's 3–1 league victory against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns, but he was denied a hat-trick early in the second half by a save by West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster.[14] Cissé's brace against West Brom made him the quickest player since Les Ferdinand to hit the five-goal mark for Newcastle.[15]

Cissé described the goal as the best of his career, and was subsequently chosen as the BBC's Goal of the Season.[20]
2012–13 season
On 4 July 2012, it was reported that Newcastle United had blocked an offer from the Senegalese FA for Cissé to play for Senegal at 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The reason behind the decision was that Newcastle wanted their key striker fit for a tough season ahead, playing European football.[21] Cissé scored his first goal in the 2012–13season with a header in the League Cup against Manchester United. He scored Newcastle's third goal in their Europa League defeat of Bordeaux on 4 October 2012, Newcastle's 100th game in European competition.[22] He scored his Premier League goal of the season in a 2–1 win over West Bromwich Albion on 28 October 2012, as a shot taken by Sammy Ameobi deflected off Cissé and into the net. The striker's scoring was scarce throughout the opening four months of the season, only scoring his second league goal of the season on 28 November, a 2–1 away defeat to Stoke City.[23]
After compatriot Demba Ba was left out of the squad because of his prospected move to European champions Chelsea in the January transfer window,[24] he started againstEverton alongside Shola Ameobi and scored a header in the second minute in a 2–1 defeat on 2 January 2013.[25] Cissé scored a spectacular 25-yard volley in Newcastle's 4–2 win over Southampton on 24 February, helping the club come from behind to secure a crucial victory over fellow relegation strugglers.[26] Cissé scored an injury time WINNERat home to Stoke City on 10 March, sending Newcastle into 13th place and nine points above the relegation places.[27] On 14 March, in the second leg Europa League Round of 16 tie at home to Anzhi Makhachkala, Cissé headed in a 94th-minute WINNER as Newcastle progressed to the quarter-finals with a 1–0 aggregate victory.[28]
Cissé also scored the first goal in a 3–1 loss away to Benfica in the first leg of Newcastle's Europa League quarter-final tie on 4 April.[29] Three days later, he scored an injury time winner in a 1–0 victory over Fulham, causing him to jump into the crowd and sent MANAGER Alan Pardew, in celebration, running in also.[30] Cissé scored his fourth goal of theEuropa League campaign in a 1–1 home draw with Benfica, but it was not enough to see Newcastle into the semi-finals of the competition as they fell 4–2 on aggregate.[31]
2013–14 season[edit]
On 25 September 2013, Cissé opened his account for the 2013–14 season in a 2–0 win for Newcastle against Leeds United in the third round of the Football League Cup.[32]Cissé scored his first PREMIER LEAGUE goal of the season in a 5–1 home rout of Stoke City on Boxing Day, converting a late penalty.[33]

After breaking his knee cap against Swansea in April 2014, Cissé returned to France to recover from his injury.[37] In June, it was revealed that Cissé would return from his injury earlier than expected and would return to Newcastle for pre-season training along with the rest of the first-team squad.[37] On 10 September 2014, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew confirmed that Cissé would return to the Newcastle squad for their home game against Hull City on 20 September.[38]
Cissé made his return from injury against Hull City on 20 September, replacing Emmanuel Rivière in the second half, and scoring both goals for Newcastle as they came back from two goals down to rescue a 2–2 draw.[39] Cissé celebrated both goals by lifting up his jersey to reveal a message dedicated to team-mate Jonás Gutiérrez, who recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer.[40][41] Two weeks later, another brace by Cissé EARNED Newcastle an identical result at Swansea City.[42] On 5 December, he came on as a substitute for Rémy Cabella and scored both of Newcastle's goals as they defeated leaders Chelsea 2–1, inflicting on their opponents a first defeat of the season.[43] After scoring a penalty on Boxing Day In the 3-1 loss at MANCHESTER UNITED,Cissé scored again In the next game, scoring the equaliser In a 3-2 victory over Everton on December 28, taking his tally to 9 league goals In just 13 matches.

Personal life[edit]
Cissé is a practising Muslim, and when celebrating a goal he often performs the Sujud.[47][48] He has allegedly objected to Newcastle United's shirt-sponsorship deal with high-interest LOANS company Wonga due to apparently religiously-related moral reasons (Islam considers promoting usury or financial exploitation to be 'forbidden').[49] The matter was eventually resolved by the two parties.[50]
