Benfica eyeing ambitious Teemu Pukki move

Recently crowned Portuguese champions Benfica are reportedly interested in signing Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki.

The Finnish international was the Championship’s top scorer last season with 29 goals, more than playing his part as the Canaries finished first to win promotion back to the Premier League.

According to a story on A Bola, his output has caught the eye of Benfica, who are now considering making a move for Pukki and hope a bid of around €15 million would be enough to convince Norwich to make a deal.

The report suggests that Pukki’s style is appealing to Benfica coach Bruno Lage, who believes he would fit into his team well.

Benfica’s current striker is Haris Seferovic, the Swiss international who hit 23 goals in Primeira Liga in 2018/19.

29-year-old Pukki joined Norwich from Brondby IF last summer and has two more years left on his current contract, putting the club in a strong position to keep hold of their marksman.
