Norwich have signed former Celtic striker Teemu Pukki on a free transfer from Danish side Brondby.

The 28-year-old Finland international joins on a three-year contract, which will officially come into effect on July 1.

Pukki was at Celtic Park from August 2013 to July 2015, scoring nine goals in 37 matches.

Pukki, who has also played for Helsinki, Schalke and Sevilla, has spent his last four years at Brondby.

He becomes Norwich head coach Daniel Farke's third signing of the summer, following the arrival of Emi Buendia and Moritz Leitner to Carrow Road.

"I'm very pleased with this signing. We got the feeling that Teemu is a good fit to our ideas because he is a technical player with really smart movements," Farke told the club's official website.

"We were speaking about how we need to make more runs in-behind and runs from deep and he's a player who has the smart movements.

"He's a brilliant character as well so we are very pleased to have him with us."
