Sebastian Tounekti, born on 13 July 2002 (age 24), is a Tunisia international left winger who joined Celtic from Hammarby IF in September 2025. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he wears squad number 17 and has mainly been used from the left, where his role is direct enough without requiring much theatre.
Before Celtic, his most productive league season came at Haugesund in 2024, when he scored four goals in 29 appearances. A spell with Hammarby IF followed, and Celtic brought him to Glasgow in September 2025. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
At Celtic, Tounekti was part of the squad that won the 2025-26 Premiership and finished runners-up in the League Cup. In 2026-27 he remained a regular first-team presence: nine league appearances, two League Cup appearances with one goal, five Scottish Cup appearances with two goals, two Champions League qualifying appearances and four in the Europa League. Across all Celtic competitions that season, he has made 25 appearances and scored three times.
He has also been involved internationally with Tunisia in the same period, appearing in World Cup and African qualifying football. His career to date has taken him from Norway and Sweden to Celtic, where he continues to hold a first-team role.
