Norwich confirm Teemu Pukki will depart this summer | OneFootball

Norwich City have confirmed that striker Teemu Pukki will depart the club at the season’s end.

The 33-year-old joined the club on a free transfer in 2018 and has opted not to sign a new deal, with his contract expiring in June.

“This has not been an easy decision because of what Norwich City means and has done for me,” said the Finland international.

“I’ve loved my time with this great club, but considering the stage of my career, and I know I have a few more years in me, I’m keen for another new experience.

“I have some amazing memories from my time here, with so many ups and downs. The two promotions were amazing.

“These five years have probably been the best of my career, both from a professional and personal perspective. I don’t think anyone believed it would go as well as it has. This club and city will always have a special place in my heart.

Pukki currently ranks as Norwich’s fourth all-time top scorer, with 88 goals across a total of 204 appearances.

After etching himself into club history and creating a lasting relationship with supporters, he plans to end on a high.

“This club means so much to me. I think back to when I signed here, it was such an easy club to settle in at. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and I will miss the whole club. The people around the place, players and support staff are amazing,” he said.

“I feel I have a special relationship with Norwich and our supporters. I’ve always had a positive feeling from them. I hope I help give them one final gift with a few goals and a positive end to the season.

“Obviously, there is still a lot riding on these final few games. All my focus is on this season and doing everything, we can to achieve success. We know we can still achieve our targets.”

Norwich, who currently sit seventh in the Championship table, will pay tribute to his time at the club in the coming weeks.
