The Ligue 1 club were looking for a top striker to strengthen their frontline ahead of their top-flight campaign before they finally reached an agreement with Pyagbara.
“It is a big responsibility that I will represent Nigerian football in Tunisia, but I am ready for this challenge,” Pyagbara said.
The striker, an imposing presence up front, has played for Sharks, Enyimba, Akwa United and Enugu Rangers in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
