The 19-year-old goal poacher recently saw his dream to Russian club Spartak Moscow hit the rocks.

He also 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.
Obaje was quoted on the club’s website as saying, “I have signed for Etoile du Sahel; I started talks with them after they expressed interest in me and they tabled a good offer.
“I’m pleased with the terms in the contractand I have to repay them for the kind of confidence they have in me by exhibiting good performance on the field.”
Etoile du Sahel club is currently in second position with 23 points in the Tunisian Ligue 1 Group A table.
Etoile du Sahel will feature in 2017 CAF Champions League after winning the league title ahead of rival, Esperance.
