Poulson to join Liverpool 'within a week'

Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen could join Liverpool next week, according to his representative.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is keen to sign the 30-year-old Denmark international, having taken him to FC Copenhagen in 2000 and winning the Superliga in his first season.

“It won’t take more than a week before this is sorted out,” Poulsen’s representative Jorn Bonnesen, who held talks with Liverpool earlier this week, told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.

“It might be already in the beginning of next week. Christian Poulsen is Roy’s man.

“He will be playing as a defensive midfielder at Liverpool. I returned home with a good and positive impression.”
