Teemu Pukki’s goals might’ve dried up somewhat at club level - he hasn’t scored a Premier League goal for Norwich City since September 14th – but that hasn’t stopped him from consistently finding the net for his country during Euro 2020 qualifying. Finland have qualified for their first ever major international tournament, and to say that would’ve been impossible without the Norwich hitman wouldn’t be far off; he was responsible for 10 of their 16 goals.

Pukki’s goals alone allowed the Finns to defeat both Bosnia & Herzegovina and Greece, a pair of huge wins for the Scandinavian side given both teams have qualified for recent tournaments (although neither competed in the last edition of the Euros), and led them to qualification ahead of both and only behind Italy.

Given Pukki also fired Finland to victory in their UEFA Nations League C group – he scored three goals in the opening three games – it’s clear that he’s as dangerous a finisher at international level as he is at club level. With that in mind, it’s probably best not to bet against him potentially causing some upsets when the tournament comes around next summer.
