As reported yesterday, Teemu Pukki is transferring to Minnesota United in MLS and because of that, I thought it would be interesting to look at some current MLS players having similar seasons to Pukki’s most recent season in the Championship with Norwich. The results of this surprised me as I would’ve thought that Pukki would have been more of a target man, but it turns out he was more of a creative striker in the Championship this season, racking up 7 assists in the league, which ranked him joint 13th in the league but just second in terms of pure number 9’s. Regardless, it will be interesting to see if Pukki remains a creative striker in MLS or he turns into more of the target man that he was in the Premier League. I’m betting on the latter.
