Pukki pleased with City deal
Striker Teemu Pukki is relishing the challenge of playing Premier League football with Norwich City, having signed a new three-year deal at Carrow Road.
The 29-year-old Finland international frontman enjoyed a superb first season with the Canaries, scoring 29 times in 43 Championship appearances to help City secure the title and a place back in the English top-flight.
I am really proud of last season. It was the best season I have ever had.

Now, armed with a new contract, Pukki has an opportunity to prove himself on a bigger stage, with Norwich starting their campaign against Liverpool at Anfield.
He told his club's official website: "It feels amazing. I had an unbelievable first year here and everyone made it easy for me and my family for this to feel like home and we are really happy to stay here a bit longer.
"I am really proud of last season. It was the best season I have ever had and I think we will understand what we really did when we play our first game at Anfield.
"I'm looking forward to playing against all the big teams, it will be a nice experience and I can't wait for all of the games to start."
Prior to joining Norwich from Danish club Brondby, Pukki had played for the likes of Sevilla, Schalke and Celtic without making too much of an impact.
However, his final two seasons with Brondby saw him score 37 league goals in total, with Pukki continuing that sort of form in front of goal when he headed to East Anglia.
Norwich are available at 10/11 to be relegated next season, with the Canaries 10/11 to avoid the drop.
