Teemu Pukki has been one of the standout players in the Championship this season.The forward has an astonishing 27 goals and nine assists for Norwich City, putting the Canaries on course for promotion to the Premier League, with a seven point cushion over third place Sheffield United.7
Teemu Pukki's goalscoring record
Sevilla – 0 goals in 1 gameHJK Helsinki – 18 goals in 34 gamesSchalke – 8 goals in 47 gamesCeltic – 9 goals in 37 gamesBrondby – 69 goals in 161 gamesNorwich – 28 goals in 42 gamesNorwich picked him up on a free-transfer in June 2018 and has gone on to fire them to the brink of promotion and was named as the Championships Player of the Year.The man himself was a little sceptical of joining the second tier of English football at the time.7Celtic manager Neil Lennon
Listen, he is not going to turn into Superman just because he has got a move to Brondby, he said after Pukki moved to Brondby. He still has the same attributes; good feet, okay with his back to goal and he will go in behind as well.He has never been the most physical of players, he was never that type. He will be a similar sort of player as what you saw at Celtic but maybe a bit more comfortable in the Scandinavian environment.LIVE ON talkSPORT

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa
Pukkis skills are not common in English football, he said before the two sides played earlier season. Hes a player who is hard to neutralise, he is always in good positions to receive the ball and makes many movements.He plays very simple, but he is very efficient.7Norwich City manager Daniel Farke
He deserves all the compliments and the spotlight because he has been outstanding, Farke said to the Eastern Daily Press.It is also important he keeps in mind what has brought him into this position.The most important thing was his hard work.7Former Finland manager Mixu Paatelainen
Can he score in the Premier League? For me, yes, he said. He is a quick player who likes to run in behind, so he is made for counter-attacking tactics.I would assume that if Norwich manage to go up this year Daniel (Farke) will stick with him and he will be very useful for counter-attacking tactics. He is certainly not fazed by playing against big teams. He scored against Spain for us, when we drew away in a World Cup qualifier. So he can score on big occasions, no question at all.His pace and ability allows him to do that. He plays on that last shoulder.Teemu has always been very light on his feet, always very capable of getting in behind defences. His instincts inside the box are sound and he has always been a very good finisher. So I am not surprised at all he is doing so well.Barcelona vs Man United live on talkSPORT: Full commentary and free stream for Champions League clash All you need to know to tune into the action at the Camp Nou By Marc Williams
