Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki has picked up yet another individual award as he added the PFA’s Championship Player of the Year title to his personal trophy haul.

Pukki scored 29 goals in the Championship and 30 in all competitions (Transfermarkt) – as well as picking up 10 assists – as Norwich finished the league campaign top of the table to win the title and promotion to the Premier League.
