Sebastian Tounekti, a Norwegian footballer born on 13 July 1998, now aged 27, currently adds his flair to the Celtic Football Club. Standing at 5ft 7in (1.71m) and weighing 10st 3lb (65kg), Tounekti primarily plays as a left winger donning the number 23 jersey. Apart from his club representation, the forward has also exhibited his skills internationally, marking his presence in the Tunisia national team.
As of current, Tounekti's market value hovers approximately £3.4m. This has been cited from his profile on Transfermarkt, a prominent resource for football-related statistics.
In the sphere of the transfer market, Tounekti began his upward journey when he moved from Tromsdalen, in Norway's 2. Divisjon to Bodo Glimt, a team in the higher flight, the Eliteserien, in March 2020. The fee remained undisclosed. During his debut season in 2020 at Bodo Glimt, Tounekti graced the field in nine first team appearances, hitting the back of the net once. His subsequent season saw him repeating another five appearances.
In August 2021, moving beyond the Norwegian seas, Tounekti found his way on loan to FC Groningen in the Eredivisie, the Netherlands' top professional football league. The loan ended in June 2022, marking his return to Bodo Glimt. As if retracing his earlier path, Tounekti again made nine first team appearances and scored in league matches as a part of the Bodo Glimt squad. The following season of 2021 saw him making an additional five appearances.
By August 2022, the forward moved once again, this time to another Norwegian team Haugesund in the OBOS-ligaen. His performances here revealed a consistent development. During his first season with Haugesund, Tounekti graced the pitch in five matches. However, by season 2024 at Haugesund, he made a marked increase to 29 first team appearances and scored four goals.
Football's transfer winds blew once again, this time taking Tounekti to Sweden. In February 2025, for a fee around £1m, he shifted to Hammarby IF, a club in the Allsvenskan league. Being undeterred by the new environment, the forward made 21 first-team appearances and scored a couple of goals during his season at Hammarby IF.
The most significant shift happened in September 2025 when Tounekti found his new home at the Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. His current season 2025 - 2026 at Celtic has seen him making 13 first team appearances and scoring once. He has also scored once in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic.
On the international front, Tounekti has represented Tunisia in the Africa CON 2025 with one start and two appearances as a substitute. He's also participated in the World Cup Qualifiers Africa 2024 - 2026 with similar statistics. Celtic's Europa League 2025 - 2026 campaign saw Tounekti starting in six matches and featuring once as a substitute.
