Sissoko spent two years at the club and was teammates with former France youth international Yannis Salibur.

Sissoko spent three years developing in the club's youth academy alongside future teammates Cheikh M'Bengue and Étienne Capoue before earning a call up to the club's reserve team in the Championnat de France amateur, the fourth level of French football, ahead of the 2006-07 season.
Sissoko appeared in 18 matches during the amateur season, quickly becoming one of the club's most sought after prospects.
Midway through the 2006-07 season, Sissoko signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal with Toulouse until June 2010.

To quash the rumours, Sadran announced that Sissoko would not leave the club for anything less than €30 million.
