Sevilla FC

In January 2008 he moved to the Spanish club Sevilla FC , where he signed a three-and-a-half year contract. After he had won the Copa del Rey of the junior teams there, he was used almost exclusively at Sevilla Atlético , the second team.

On December 7, 2008, Pukki was appointed for the league game against Real Madrid for the first time in the squad of the A-team, but not used. His debut in the Primera División followed on January 25, 2009 against Racing Santander , when he came on in the 62nd minute for Ivica Dragutinović .

HJK Helsinki

Since he did not feel that he was in good hands in Seville, Pukki moved to HJK Helsinki in August 2010 ; there he signed a three and a half year contract. In his second league game on September 12, 2010, he met for the first time in a 1-1 draw against FF Jaro . At the end of the year there were seven games, two goals and a 2010 Veikkausliiga win . In 2011, Pukki was then used regularly and scored his first hat trick on June 22 in a 6-0 win over Turku PS .

In July 2011 Pukki was used for the first time in the Champions League qualification against Bangor City . In the 3-0 first leg success he played 83 minutes; in the second leg he scored the sixth and eighth goals in a 10-0 victory. In the third qualifying round, however, Helsinki was eliminated 3-1 on a return leg against Dinamo Zagreb . Then the club came into the playoffs for the UEFA Europa League , in which they met FC Schalke 04 . In the first leg on August 18, Pukki scored both goals in a surprising 2-0 home win. Also in the second leg in the Gelsenkirchen Veltins Arena a week later Pukki scored a goal, but Helsinki lost 6-1 and was eliminated.

He scored his first two Bundesliga goals on November 6, 2011 (12th matchday) in a 2-2 draw in the away game at Hannover 96 . Pukki quickly rose to the Schalke crowd's favorite, but mostly only remained a substitute.

Celtic Glasgow

At the end of August 2013, Pukki moved to Scotland to join Celtic Glasgow . In his first game for Celtic, Pukki scored in the away league game against Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Stadium after his substitution for Kris Commons in the 73rd minute to make it 3-1, four minutes before the end of the game.
