Hilal striker Godwin Ndubuisi has decided to join Tunisia's Etoile Sahel, favoring the African champions over Ahli, according to Sudanese reports.

The Nigerian hot shot has been pursued by Africa's top two, and Egyptian champions Ahli officially declared their interest this week.

Recent reports in Sudan also suggested that Ahli are closer to clinching Godwin's signature as the Reds made an approach to Hilal first.

However, 'Goal' newspaper claimed that the 23-year-old preferred the Tunisian league, which he believes to be a 'better option for foreign strikers'.

Moreover, the paper said that Hilal will make a final decision on Monday after Etoile raised their bid to $1.2M, against a $1M Ahli offer.

Godwin led Sudanese champions Hilal to the Champions League semi-finals this year, hitting eight goals in the competition.
