Norwich’s Teemu Pukki has been rewarded for his fantastic start to the season by winning the PFA Premier League Player of the Month award for August.
Pukki has scored a remarkable five goals from just four Premier League games following Norwich’s promotion from the Championship.
The Finland international scored a brilliant hat-trick against Newcastle, while also netting against Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea.
He beat Manchester City duo Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne, Mason Mount, Ashley Barnes and Tyrone Mings to the award.
The 29-year-old, who finished top scorer with 29 goals in the Championship last season, will be hoping to continue his fine form after the international break.
However, he faces an extremely tough task as the Canaries take on reigning Premier League champions City at Carrow Road on September 14.
