Teemu Pukki struggled at Celtic, but he is flying at Norwich City.
Teemu Pukki had a torrid time at Celtic, and it is safe to say that the Celtic Park faithful were not surprised that the forward left after just one season at the club.
Pukki, now at Norwich City in the Championship in England, moved to Celtic from German club Schalke in the summer of 2013 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £3 million.
The 28-year-old Finland international striker struggled to make an impact at Celtic Park and joined Brondby in the summer of 2014 on a loan deal before making the move permanent in the summer of 2015.
According to Sky Sports, the striker scored nine goals in 37 appearances for Celtic.
The Finland international, though, is flying at Norwich at the moment and is banging in the goals for fun.
According to WhoScored, Pukki has scored 23 goals and provided six assists in 30 Championship appearances for Norwich so far this season.
The Championship in England is a much better and more competitive domestic league than the Scottish Premiership, and many Celtic fans will be astounded just how well the forward is doing in the English second tier.
Former Celtic forward Nicholas has given his take on Pukki, and has suggested why the Finland international could not make an impact at the Glasgow giants.
Nicholas said about Pukki on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News this past Saturday afternoon (2:20pm, February 16, 2019): “What we did see at Celtic was his movement was decent, and he didn’t always get the service he was looking for.”
