Sebastian Tounekti, born on 13 July 2002 (age 23), is a Tunisia international and compact left winger at 5ft 7in (1.71m). He wears number 23 for Celtic and has a current market value of around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Before coming to Glasgow, Tounekti had spells in Scandinavia, with his most productive league season arriving 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 rather than another pure punt for the development pile.
He has remained involved in the first team through 2025-2026, making 27 league appearances and scoring twice. Across all competitions for Celtic he has made 48 appearances and scored five goals, including one in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup, along with 10 Europa League outings.
Tounekti has also continued his international involvement with Tunisia, featuring twice in African World Cup qualifying this season. His career to this point has moved from regular football in Norway and Sweden to a steady place in Celtic’s squad, where his relevance is based on minutes played rather than reputation.
