He grew up playing football for Stade Rennes FC's youth team, and currently, Djaoui Cissé is on the first team. The player acts mainly as a centre-left midfielder in a 3-5-2 formation. His natural position is midfielder, but he can also play as an attacking midfielder.

From a physical point of view, Djaoui Cissé has a well-structured physique, with height well above average and a high centre of gravity. He is a rangy athlete with good agility, balance, and coordination, but he needs to develop his musculature (even if he already has good strength) and coordination. Djaoui Cissé has excellent body control despite his height. He also has a great ball progression.

Djaoui Cissé is a midfielder/attacking midfielder, and his preferred foot is his right, even if he uses his weak foot with confidence. He uses both feet to score and to make precise passes to his teammates. Djaoui Cissé also shows a good game vision, especially in long-distance passes. He has an excellent shooting ability (precision and power), especially from distance. The player needs to develop his header (he has the physical and technical skills to do so) and improve his finishing (he can score more goals). The French player has very good basic technique and ball control, which allows him to dribble past defenders and maintain possession.

During the possession phase, Djaoui Cissé loves playing on the left side in order to cut inside dribbling and trying to shoot or phrase with teammates through lay-off passes, one-two passes and assists. The French midfielder loves to do progressive carries, especially during offensive transitions, and he often tries to switch play to the full-backs and wingers.

During the non-possession phase, he is very involved; Djaoui Cissé has excellent positioning, allowing him to intercept many passes and shots. He does not press much, but thanks to his physique and height, he is very useful in defending and recovering the ball.

From a mental point of view, Djaoui Cissé shows calm, and courage: the midfielder is not afraid to dribble and make risky plays. Moreover, he already has a good technical and physical mastery. On the other hand, the player is not always focused throughout the game. Sometimes he appears listless and doesn't seem to put the right intensity into it.

As for the overall evaluation of the player, Djaoui Cissé is shown to be a good prospect with wide scope for improvement: he stands out for both offensive and defensive qualities, but still needs to mature and improve his finishing, effort, and decision-making. The French player has everything to become a great box-to-box midfielder. A player with a similar profile in today's game is definitely Gravenberch.
