Teemu Pukki

Teemu Pukki is a folk hero in Finnish football, and rightly so. He debuted for KTP at just fifteen, had a frustrating spell at Sevilla where he barely featured, and then reinvented himself into a clinical striker. His Norwich City years, especially the goals that fired them up, were genuine joy to watch. Being named Finland's Footballer of the Year in 2019 and 2020 underlines how central he became to that golden generation. I always rooted for him because his game is built on movement and timing, not size, and seeing him return to HJK feels like a fitting full circle.
