PUKKI IS STAYING PUT, SAYS FARKE

- By Dave Grimmer

NORWICH boss Daniel Farke insists he is “pretty relaxed” – despite transfer speculatio­n linking Teemu Pukki with a January transfer.

Reports in Turkey have suggested the 10-goal striker could be on his way to Galatasara­y, despite only arriving at Carrow Road in the summer.

The 28-year-old Finland internatio­nal signed a three-year deal in June and Farke is not losing any sleep over the speculatio­n.

“I’m relaxed because that always happens in football, I’ve been working in the game since the age of 18 and it’s always the same,” said Farke.

“Other clubs could look at our players and think they are a good fit, but I’m pretty relaxed, all the contracts are long term.

“To be honest, it’s a situation we wanted, we wanted to be successful, to be there with good performanc­es.

“It’s quite normal, I’m not concerned, it’s more of a good sign to be honest.”
