Sebastian Tounekti, born on the 13th of July 2002, is a forward, primarily playing as a left-winger for the Celtic Football Club. This strong player hails from Norway and has brought much to the field at 5ft7in (1.71m) tall and weighing in at 10st 3lb (65kg). Wearing the number 23 jersey for Celtic, Tounekti has also represented the Tunisia national team.
Tounekti's current market value is estimated to be approximately £3.5m, as reported by Transfermarkt. After his transfer in 2020 from Tromsdalen to Bodo Glimt, both teams in Norway, for an undisclosed fee, Tounekti has shown impressive performance. He scored one goal during nine first-team appearances at Bodo Glimt in his debut season.
In 2021, Tounekti was loaned from Bodo Glimt to FC Groningen in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands, returning to Bodo Glimt in 2022 on completion of his loan. While playing for Bodo Glimt in 2021, Tounekti had five first team appearances.
Later in August 2022, Tounekti transferred from Bodo Glimt to Haugesund in the OBOS-ligaen in Norway again for an undisclosed fee. During his stint at Haugesund, Tounekti made a significant impact with five first team appearances in the 2022 season, seven in the 2023 season, and notably scoring four goals during 29 first team appearances in the 2024 season.
In what seemed to be a pivotal move in his career, in February 2025, Tounekti transferred from Haugesund to Hammarby IF in the Allsvenskan in Sweden for about £1m. Despite the change in teams and locations, Tounekti continued to bring his exceptional skills to bear on the pitch by making 21 first team appearances and dipping the ball into the net twice during the 2025 season.
In September 2025, Tounekti transferred from Hammarby IF in Sweden to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. The current season of 2025 - 2026 at Celtic has already seen Tounekti engaging in 13 first team appearances and scoring one goal. He's also showcased his skills participating in several high-profile matches, to include the Africa CON 2025 for Tunisia, League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, World Cup Qualifiers Africa 2024 - 2026 for Tunisia, and Europa League 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, contributing an overall of one goal in these matches.
