Teemu Pukki named Championship player of the year as Norwich team-mate Max Aarons also wins at EFL awards

Finland international Pukki, who joined the Canaries on a free transfer last summer, claims the award in the final weeks of a season in which he has scored 26 goals.

He leads the Championship’s scoring charts, with his brace in Saturday’s 4-0 defeat of QPR sending Daniel Farke’s in-form side seven points clear at the top of the table and on course for the Premier League.

Pukki said: “It’s an honour to win this award, I’m really happy for the recognition.

“I have really enjoyed this season so far in what is a fantastic league, but we know there are still many big games to come. There are many great players here tonight, so it’s special to win this award.”
