Club career

Early career

Bisseck made his debut for 1. FC Köln against Hertha BSC on 26 November 2017 at the age of 16, making him the youngest player in Köln's history and the youngest-ever German player to appear in the Bundesliga. Bisseck's appearance also made him the second youngest player in league history, behind Nuri Şahin. ^[3]

On 17 January 2019, Bisseck was loaned out to Holstein Kiel until the end of 2019–20 season. ^{[4] [5]} His loan was cut short and he joined Eerste Divisie club Roda on a one-year loan. ^[6] After briefly returning to his hometown club in summer 2020, Köln announced that Bisseck joined Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães on a two-year loan. ^[7] However, it ended after one year, and he was sent to Danish Superliga club AGF on another one-year loan. ^[8] On 27 October 2021, AGF confirmed that the club had triggered his buying option and signed him permanently until June 2026. According to the club, it took immediate effect from the same date. ^[9]
