There’s more award success for Norwich City players, after a trio of the leaders’ players were voted into the PFA Team of the Season by their Championship counterparts.
Top scorer Teemu Pukki and full-backs Jamal Lewis and Max Aarons have all been included in the Professional Footballers’ Association Championship Team of the Season, which is voted for by players from across the division.
The trio were all named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season at the EFL Awards earlier this month as well, when Pukki was named Championship Player of the Season and Aarons the EFL Young Player of the Season.
The latest award success comes with the Canaries on the verge of sealing promotion, needing just one point from their final two games to seal a place in the Premier League.
That’s due to Leeds losing their last two games and sitting six points adrift with six points left to play for, leaving the Whites in need of a big goal difference swing even if they do close that gap.

Pukki has scored 28 goals this season and is on course to win the Championship golden boot, with just two players having scored more goals in a single season in City’s history.
Lewis, 21, made the breakthrough with the Canaries last season and has continued to progress with Norwich City and Northern Ireland, making 49 appearances in all competitions for club and country.
