Either of the Ajax ones could be Kanu

None of the above.
Both Ajax players had short stints in the Premier League later in their career. The PSG and Schalke teenagers are both still playing at top clubs.
Rabiot?
Wooter
Aron Winter
One Ajax player down, one to go.
Musampa (not sure if he made it to the Prem)
Edit; yes he did, City?! I feel like we did a question with him in a few week back
Matuidis probably too old
Sakho
Kimpembe
Marquinos. He was young when they bought him
Just the Schalke player to get.
I looked up their squad to see if it was anyone I'd actually heard of and on an unrelated note I had no idea Raul was at Schalke for a while.
I should've got Musampa. Was looking at the old Ajax squads after they put Madrid out. Didn't realise he'd played (and scored) for Ajax until then.
The last teenage goalscorer was Joel Matip.

After Saturday Norwich are coming back to the Premier league, hopefully led by their talismanic goalscorer Teemu Pukki. Before Pukki 16 Finnish players have thrilled the hearts and minds of the English football fans in the Premier league. Can you name them?
Bonus: there have also been two players on top of the 16 who have made the bench, but never the pitch.
Kuqi
Niemi
Litmanen
Mikael Forssell.
Sami Hyypia.
Riihilahti
Jaaskelainen
Peter Enckelman
Teemu Taiaiaiaiaiaino
Mixu Paatalainen
All correct. 50, 143 and 26 appearances respectively.
Both correct. 126 appearances for Forssell and 318 for Hyypiδ.
All correct as well. Jδδskelδinen has the most appearances with 436.Mixu Paatalainen
I am surprised how quickly you guys got the firs ten. The remaining six are all a bit harder bar one. Ill post some tips if no one gets them.
Petri Pasanen. Fuck knows who he played for though. Blackburn?
Pasanen is correct. 12 games for Pompey.
I don't actually remember that, I just remember his name. Real Finnish defending connoisseurs in those days preferred Toni Kuivasto but sadly he never made it over here.
He didnt but his namesake did. Of him I have fond memories as he very unexpectedly kept Ronaldo quiet in a qualifying game we managed to tie at home against Portugal. That qualification campaign is the closest Ive seen us to a major tournament.
Hangeland.
Toni Kallio played a few games for Fulham.
Hangeland is norweigan, not finnish.
I was thinking of another player who played for West Ham, but it turns out he was from Israel and his name is Eyal Berkovic
Couldnt think of any other Finland players. Searched them and I dont recoginise any name at all.
Teemu Tainio
@Pen
Run the thread you lazy scumbag.
Jonatan Johansson.
Johansson and Kallio are both correct. Still three to go.
One of them played for Palace, one for Derby and one for West Ham. You probably need to be a fan of one of the three to remember them.
Looked them up.
No idea who they are.
Yeah, definitely hard to get. Although Thommo got Toni Kallio so everythings possible.
Same. Good lucky to anyone who is still trying.
Ive got short trivia waiting to go.
The Palace player should be Kolkka. Not a clue for the other 2.
Kolkka is correct.
Simo Valakari for Derby and Hannu Tihinen for West Ham were the missing two.
Oh those. I can't believe you plebs didn't get them.
