Tunisia: Etoile Sportive du Sahel secure signing of Libyan midfielder noor Aldeen Al-Qulaib

Etoile Sportive du Sahel have confirmed the signing of Libyan midfielder Noor Aldeen Al-Qulaib on a two-year deal, strengthening their squad ahead of the new campaign.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder arrives from Al Ahli Tripoli, where he established himself as one of the Libyan Premier League’s most consistent performers.

His ability to dictate play in the final third, combined with a sharp eye for goal, made him a key figure for the Tripoli side and an attractive prospect for clubs across North Africa.

Etoile du Sahel, who are looking to reinforce their creative options, moved quickly to secure Al-Qulaib’s services.

The Sousse-based club unveiled him on Monday, with the player putting pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the Stade Olympique de Sousse until 2027.

The Tunisian giants have a long tradition of attracting some of the most talented players from the region, and Al-Qulaib’s arrival is seen as part of a wider strategy to build a squad capable of competing domestically and in continental competitions.

His signing follows Etoile’s stated ambition to refresh their midfield and bring in players who can inject flair, versatility and experience.

For Al-Qulaib, the move marks the first step outside his homeland after developing his career in Libya.

Having risen through the ranks at Al Ahli Tripoli, he became a central figure in their domestic campaigns, impressing with his close control, passing range and attacking instinct.

His performances also earned him recognition at international level with the Libyan national team, further enhancing his reputation.

Speaking at the signing, Etoile du Sahel highlighted their confidence in the player’s ability to make an immediate impact.

Supporters will now be eager to see how Al-Qulaib adapts to the Tunisian league, widely regarded as one of the most competitive in North Africa.

Etoile, who are chasing success on multiple fronts this season, view Al-Qulaib as a valuable addition capable of bringing balance and creativity to their midfield unit.

His experience in high-pressure environments with Al Ahli Tripoli is expected to prove beneficial as the club targets both domestic silverware and progress in continental tournaments.

Al-Qulaib’s transfer underlines the enduring appeal of Etoile du Sahel as a destination for top regional talent and sets the stage for a fresh chapter in his career.
