The 22-year-old Tunisian international Seb Tounkiti has emerged as a transfer target for multiple European clubs including Toulouse, Köln, Leicester City, and Blackburn Rovers.

The versatile left winger has enjoyed a breakthrough season with Hammarby since his winter move from Norwegian side Haugesund, registering 1 goal and 5 assists in 20 appearances.

The Swedish club is hesitant about the departure of its Tunisian star

Despite concrete interest from multiple European clubs, Swedish side Hammarby – under sporting director Kim Hellberg – remains hesitant to sell their promising Tunisian winger Seb Tounkiti. The 22-year-old, who attracted attention from Sarpsborg 08 and Raków Częstochowa during the winter window, continues to be the subject of active negotiations as the transfer deadline approaches.

Tounkiti's current market value stands at €1.2 million (per Transfermarkt), though his growing influence at Hammarby – evidenced by his immediate impact since arriving from Haugesund – suggests his price tag could rise significantly. The technically-gifted winger has quickly become indispensable for the Stockholm-based club, making any potential departure before the window closes increasingly complicated.
