Maybe Scottish Premiership champions Celtic got rid of Teemu Pukki too early because he’s thriving in the Championship with Norwich City now.
Teemu Pukki’s second spell in Britain already looks like it could be far more impressive than his first – and maybe Celtic were too quick to let him go.
The Finnish striker moved to Norwich City this summer on a free after four excellent seasons with Brondby and already appears to be the prolific centre-forward that Daniel Farke’s side were lacking last season.
Pukki scored one and set up another in Norwich’s narrow 4-3 defeat to West Brom on Saturday before hitting the net again in the 3-1 EFL Cup win against Stevenage. When you consider that he also fired home 44 goals in his final two seasons for Brondby, this free transfer looks increasingly impressive.
And, after just three games for Norwich, the 28-year-old is already seven goals away from matching his tally at Celtic.
The Scottish Premiership giants landed Pukki in a £3 million deal from Schalke in 2013, according to The Mail, but he struggled badly north of the border, scoring just nine times in 37 games in Celtic colours.
But the diminutive forward is wasting no time in showing Celtic what they could have had if they got the best out of his natural goalscoring instincts. Pukki has scored impressively throughout his career barring those spells in Germany and Scotland and maybe he should’ve been given a little more time.
He’s already a fan favourite at Norwich. Could he have won over the Celtic supporters too?
