Born on 13 July 2002 (age 23), Sebastian Tounekti is a compact Tunisia international left winger, 5ft 7in (1.71m), who wears number 23 for Celtic. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His best scoring league season before Celtic came at Haugesund in 2024, when he managed four goals in 29 appearances. He then moved on to Hammarby IF, and Celtic brought him in from the Swedish club in September 2025.

Tounekti has been a regular first-team presence in 2025-2026 rather than a peripheral punt. He has made 27 league appearances, scoring two goals, and has also featured across the Scottish Cup and Europa League. His Celtic total stands at 45 appearances and four goals, with two of those coming in the Scottish Cup.

That first season also brought a Premiership title with Celtic in 2025-2026. He has remained involved with Tunisia as well, with appearances in World Cup and African qualifying duty during the campaign.

His career so far has moved from Norway to Sweden and then to Celtic, where he has become a regular option on the left rather than just another squad addition.

At 23, Sebastian Tounekti had already moved through Bodo/Glimt, a loan at FC Groningen, Haugesund, Hammarby IF and Celtic. That five-club route suggested a winger whose senior career had been shaped by short spells and upward moves, with Celtic becoming the highest-profile step in 2025.
