Sebastian Tounekti, born in the summer heat of July 13, 2002 in the verdant stretches of Norway, is a tenacious forward currently embellishing the football pitches of Celtic. He primarily assumes the position of a left winger. With 1.71m (5ft 7in) of height and a healthy weight of 65kg (10st 3lb), Tounekti is a dynamic presence on the field. He brandishes the jersey numbered 23 with pride.
The young prodigy's market value orbits around €1.20m, which translates into roughly £1m in the British currency, as conveyed by Transfermarkt.
Tounekti's journey begins in March 2020 with a transfer from Tromsdalen in Norway's 2. Divisjon to Bodo Glimt based in the Eliteserien. The specifics of the transfer fee remains veiled in secrecy. Following his move, in his debut season at Bodo Glimt, Tounekti marked a humble beginning with one goal scattered across nine first team appearances.
The year 2021 witnessed Tounekti's transfer from Bodo Glimt to FC Groningen in the Eredivisie sector of Netherlands. This occurred in August on a loan basis. Fast-forward to June 2022, Tounekti made his return to Bodo Glimt post the completion of his loan.
August 2022 marked another change in Tounekti's career trajectory. He bid goodbye to Bodo Glimt and shifted his loyalties to Haugesund, nestled within the confines of Norway's Eliteserien. His time at Haugesund showed a gradual improvement in his performance – scoring four goals in a total of 29 first team appearances in the 2024 season.
February 2025 rolled in with a new phase in Tounekti's career. He transferred from Haugesund to Hammarby IF in the Allsvenskan in Sweden for a fee close to £1m. His current season establishes him as a promising figure, boasting two goals across 21 first team appearances.
As the autumn leaves fell in September 2025, Tounekti embarked on his journey from Hammarby IF in Sweden to Celtic. His current season at Celtic saw Tounekti make three first team appearances. Furthermore, his contribution to the League Cup 2025 - 2026 is notable, scoring one goal in a singular start, and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 with two starts under his belt.
