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. The record was previously held by Tony Yeboah who scored 20 goals with Eintracht Frankfurt in 1992–93.[7] That same season, Cissé won the EFFIFU award for being the most efficient striker in the league.[8]
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.

Cissé scored his sixth and seventh goals, against Liverpool in a 2–0 home win.[16] He scored a third consecutive brace at Liberty Stadium in a 2–0 away win against Swansea Cityon 6 April, bringing his tally to 9 goals in 8 games.[17] This made him Newcastle United's most prolific goals per game scorer of all time ahead of Hughie Gallacher.

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]

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]
