France international defender Hawa Cissoko made the move to West Ham United from ASJ Soyaux in July 2020.

Beginning her football journey with FC Solitaire at 12-years-old, Cissoko was invited to join the Paris Saint-Germain youth team in 2012 before making her debut for the French giants in the 2014/15 Division 1 campaign. 

Cissoko would make seven league appearances for PSG, and a further two in the Coupe de France, before switching to Olympique de Marseille in 2017. 

The defender played 13 times in all competitions during her solitary year with Marseille, with Cissoko’s form earning her the first of two France international caps. Her debut for her country came in September 2017, as Cissoko helped France to a 3-1 win over Spain. 

Cissoko joined ASJ Soyaux in July 2018, playing 41 times in all competitions for the team. 

Prior to her full senior international debut, Cissoko helped France Under-19s to win the European Under-19 Championship in 2016 before reaching the final of the Under-20s World Cup with her nation in the same year.

Cissoko was a key player for the Hammers across the 2021/22 campaign, making 23 appearances in all competitions. She also was called up to the senior French National Team during the season - a reward for some fine performances in Claret & Blue.  

In the 2022/23 season, Cissoko featured 21 times across all competitions, scoring a wonderful goal against rival Tottenham Hotspur in December. 

Ahead of the 2023/24 season, Cissoko has featured 60 times for the Club.
