Souleymane Cissé KAC Marrakech Scouting Report
Souleymane Cissé
Quick Answer
Cissé is a 26-year-old Senegalese forward, born in Tambacounda, who joined KAC Marrakech from Senegal’s ASC Jaraaf de Dakar on a free transfer in 2025. Joining alongside another Senegalese player (Yaya Diassy) in the same window points to a deliberate squad-building approach targeting the Senegalese market. Public footage and advanced attacking data remain limited, so a firm technical read should stay cautious.

Souleymane Cissé was born in Tambacounda, Senegal, and played for ASC Jaraaf de Dakar before joining KAC Marrakech. He signed a two-year deal on a free transfer on 28 July 2025; in the same window, the club also brought in fellow Senegalese player Yaya Diassy. He is listed in the club’s current squad with number 18 as a centre-forward, and his contract runs through 2027.
Playing Style and Assessment
Coming directly from the Senegalese league points to development in a different football culture and physical environment. Joining alongside another Senegalese player in the same window shows the coaching staff invested in a particular type of attacking profile; however, public match footage and goal data in the Botola Pro remain limited so far.
Strengths
- Part of a squad-building plan — Being signed alongside another Senegalese player in the same window points to a deliberate squad strategy.
- Age and development window — At 26, he is still in the middle of his development curve as a forward.
- Contract security — A deal running to 2027 suggests the club sees him as part of its medium-term attacking planning.
Areas for Development
- Data scarcity — Goals, xG, and shots on target — basic attacking metrics — are not yet trackable in open sources.
- Botola Pro adaptation — His entire career so far has been in Senegal, so his adaptation to the tempo of Moroccan football needs to be monitored.
Level Within Botola Pro
Verdict: A rotation/starting-XI candidate centre-forward in the Botola Pro; the final read depends on in-season goal and assist data.
