Sebastian Tounekti, born on 13 July 2002 (age 23), is a Tunisia international left winger at Celtic. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he wears squad number 23 and has been a regular first-team presence in 2025–26 rather than a fringe addition.

His most productive league season came at Haugesund in 2024, when he scored four goals in 29 appearances. Celtic signed him from Hammarby IF in September 2025, adding a wide player with senior football behind him but still plenty of career left to shape.

In his first season at Celtic, Tounekti has made 47 appearances in all competitions and scored five goals. That includes 27 league appearances with two goals, three League Cup games with one goal, four Scottish Cup appearances with two goals, and 10 Europa League outings. He has also played for Tunisia this season, making two World Cup qualifying appearances in Africa and three Africa CON appearances.

His current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his Celtic career is still in its first chapter: a regular wide option, contributing across several competitions, with enough minutes to matter and enough still to prove.

Sebastian Tounekti has been a regular part of Celtic’s Premiership rotation in 2025-2026, making 27 league appearances with 18 starts. The return of two league goals is modest for a left winger, but his wider workload – including 10 Europa League appearances and goals in both domestic cups – points to a player trusted across competitions rather than used only as a fringe option.

Tounekti’s season average rating of 6.86 suggests broadly stable performances rather than dominant output. The gap between his highest rating of 8.04 and lowest of 6.07 shows he has produced stronger individual matches, but the overall profile is still closer to reliable contributor than decisive attacking focal point.

Tounekti’s career path has been mobile for a 23-year-old, with spells involving Bodo/Glimt, FC Groningen, Haugesund, Hammarby IF and now Celtic. The trajectory suggests gradual upward movement after an early loan abroad, with the 2025 switch from Hammarby to Celtic representing the clearest step into a higher-profile environment.

The transfer record shows a mix of loans and permanent moves. Tounekti went from Bodo/Glimt to FC Groningen on loan in 2021, returned in 2022, then moved to Haugesund on an undisclosed deal. Hammarby paid €1.00m in February 2025 before Celtic signed him for an undisclosed fee in September, indicating a sharp rise in market interest within the same year.
