Teemu Pukki is poised to stay at Norwich this transfer window – but the Canaries could face a battle to keep him in January.

The striker has interest from the Premier League but is likely to remain at Carrow Road beyond the end of the window next week, the PA news agency understands.

Pukki also has interest from Germany and Turkey but there have been no official approaches with the expectation Norwich’s asking price will be too high.

He scored 11 goals as Daniel Farke’s side finished bottom of the table.

Norwich’s confidence of keeping their star players, including Ben Godfrey and Todd Cantwell, has grown and they have not had any bids.

They are prepared to sell Emi Buendia, with the attacking midfielder wanting to stay in the Premier League, and could still struggle to keep Max Aarons after Barcelona’s interest.

Jamal Lewis joined Newcastle for an initial £15million this month but the Canaries are under no financial pressure to sell and tied many of their stars to new deals last summer.
