NIGERIA Premier League top goal scorer and Wikki Tourists ace, Godwin Obaje has officially joined Tunisian top-flight side Etoile du Sahel, the former FRSC and Mighty Jets attacker completed his move to the Tunisian outfit on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old goal poacher recently saw his dream to Russian club Spartak Moscow hit the rocks and he has now joined Etoile du Sahel.
Obaje caught the eye of several clubs after enjoying a hugely successful campaign, netting 18 goals, as he helped Wikki Tourists secure a third-place finish in the 2015/2016 Nigeria Professional Football League season.
He appeared to be on the verge of joining Spartak following a successful two-week trial, but saw the move scuppered after he failed a medical.
“I have signed for Etoile du Sahel, I started talks with them after they expressed interest in me and they tabled down a good offer,” Godwin Obaje said.
“I’m pleased with the terms in the contract and I have to repay them for the kind of confidence they have in me by exhibiting good performance on the field,” he added.
Last season, Obaje won the Nigeria Professional Football League top scorer award with 18 goals and his new found club are currently at the 2nd position with 23 points in the Tunisian Ligue 1 Group A table.
Etoile will feature in next year’s CAF Champions League after they won the league title ahead of rivals Esperance.
