Celtic Sign Sebastian Tounekti on Deadline Day Amid Transfer Disappointments

Celtic completed the signing of winger Sebastian Tounekti from Hammarby IF for £5.2 million on the final day of the transfer window, their only signing of the deadline day. The 23-year-old Norwegian-born Tunisian international, who can operate on both wings, has previously scored two goals in 25 appearances for Hammarby since joining from Haugesund in February. Celtic had two bids rejected before accepting the £5.2m offer. Manager Brendan Rodgers expressed confidence that Tounekti will bring attacking flair and make a significant impact. Celtic also attempted to sign other players, including Kasper Dolberg and Manuel Benson, but failed to secure those deals. Striker Adam Idah transferred to Swansea City for £7 million, and Motherwell signed Stephen Welsh on loan. The club is also in talks with free agent Kelechi Iheanacho. The deadline day was marked by disappointment in the transfer market, with Celtic missing out on several targets, but the signing of Tounekti is seen as a positive addition. Meanwhile, Sky Sports announced an increase in Premier League coverage to 215 games this season, with extensive broadcasting plans.
