Espérance Sportive de Tunis have confirmed the arrival of Algerian forward Kouceila Boualia, who has signed a four-year contract with the Tunisian giants.
The 22-year-old attacker joins from Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie, where he developed his reputation as one of Algeria’s most promising young forwards.
His performances in the Algerian top flight last season attracted attention across North Africa, with Espérance ultimately securing his signature.
Boualia, known for his pace and direct attacking style, will provide an additional option in Espérance’s frontline as the club looks to strengthen ahead of both domestic and continental campaigns.
The move marks a significant step in his career, offering him the chance to showcase his talent on a bigger stage, particularly in the CAF Champions League.
Espérance announced the deal through their official channels, welcoming Boualia into the squad and expressing confidence in his ability to contribute to the club’s ambitions.
The four-year contract reflects the long-term faith the management has placed in the young Algerian.
Boualia leaves JS Kabylie after emerging through their system and making an impact in the first team.
His progression has been closely followed in Algeria, where he established himself as a dynamic forward with the ability to create chances and stretch opposition defences.
The move to Tunis represents both a challenge and an opportunity.
Espérance remain one of Africa’s most successful and competitive clubs, and Boualia will now face the task of adapting quickly to the demands of a team accustomed to challenging for titles every season.
Fans of the Blood and Gold will be eager to see how the Algerian adapts to his new surroundings, with expectations already high.
His arrival comes at a time when Espérance are looking to inject fresh energy into their attack, combining established stars with emerging talents capable of carrying the club’s legacy forward.
For Boualia, the transfer is a chance to test himself at a higher level while also pursuing silverware with one of the continent’s most decorated sides.
With a four-year contract in place, both player and club have committed to a long-term project that could prove decisive for his development and for Espérance’s pursuit of continued dominance in Tunisian and African football.
