"Image source, SNS Two matches and two player of the match awards for Celtic new boy Sebastian Tounekti. It's been an impressive start to life in Scottish football for the winger signed from Hammarby on deadline day. As he was on his debut against Kilmarnock last weekend, Tounekti was a constant threat in Celtic's League Cup 4-0 victory against Partick Thistle, demanding the ball, driving at defenders and combining nicely with fellow new signing Kelechi Iheanacho for his first goal in green and white."
"When he was substituted after an hour, manager Brendan Rodgers gave him a big cuddle - a reflection of not just how well the Tunisia international played at Firhill, but also how important he has become to Celtic in such a short space of time. Rodgers has spoken throughout the past two years about recruiting players that raise Celtic's ceiling - real difference makers. On the limited evidence we have seen, Tounekti appears to be just that."
Sebastian Tounekti joined Celtic from Hammarby on deadline day and has immediately influenced results, earning two player-of-the-match awards in two appearances. He threatened on his debut against Kilmarnock, creating four chances, completing five dribbles and winning six duels. He scored in a 4-0 League Cup win over Partick Thistle, cutting inside from the left and finishing after a one-two with Kelechi Iheanacho. Manager Brendan Rodgers praised his all-round ability and showed visible affection after substituting him. Celtic's prior attack had been predictable, and Tounekti's arrival offers a clear chance to raise the team's attacking ceiling.
