The 23-year-old striker was key in the 1-0 victory against Haiti on March 29, scoring the only goal of the match. His performance not only secured the win but also highlighted his excellent form and the potential he can bring to Celtic in the short and long term.

Tounnetti, who recently joined the club and is under contract until 2030, is considered one of the key signings in the club’s sporting project, which hopes to improve for the next season.
