Sebastian Tounekti

Sebastian Tounekti has been a regular part of Celtic’s Premiership rotation in 2025-2026, making 26 appearances with 17 starts, nine substitute outings and two goals. That profile points to a wide player trusted for minutes rather than built around as a primary finisher, with three yellow cards and no reds suggesting manageable disciplinary risk. His cup work adds more end product – three goals across the League Cup and Scottish Cup – while 10 Europa League appearances without a goal underline a role that has not consistently translated into scoring output against stronger opposition.

Tounekti’s rating profile is steady rather than spectacular, with a 6.89 season average, an 8.04 high and a 6.07 low. The gap between peak and floor shows he has produced at least one standout performance without dropping into severe outlier territory, which fits a useful rotation starter more than a dominant week-to-week attacker.

At 23, Tounekti’s path still reads as a development curve rather than a settled peak. The available career summary is thin on appearance totals, but the club sequence – Bodo/Glimt, a loan to FC Groningen, Haugesund, Hammarby IF and now Celtic – shows a player moving through Scandinavian and Dutch football before landing at a higher-pressure club. The scoring record supplied is modest, with four goals in 2024 the clearest prior spike, so his Celtic profile is based more on role growth than a long record of heavy output.

The transfer history suggests a gradual climb rather than a single breakout deal. Tounekti went from Bodo/Glimt to FC Groningen on loan in 2021, returned in 2022, then moved to Haugesund on an undisclosed deal before Hammarby IF paid the only listed fee in the record, 1,000,000, in February 2025. Celtic’s undisclosed move in September 2025 came quickly after that Hammarby switch, indicating his market moved sharply once he established value in Sweden.
