Liverpool's Daniel Agger has backed potential new signing Christian Poulsen to replace outgoing midfielder Javier Mascherano.
30-year-old Poulsen is on the verge of completing a £6million transfer to Anfield this week, and is being touted as the natural replacement for Mascherano.
Mascherano is expected to leave the club this summer, though favourites Inter Milan have reportedly backed out after Liverpool slapped a £35m price tag on the Argentinian.
Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has backed any potential transfer, telling the Sun: 'Christian would be a perfect addition to most of the big clubs in Europe, so he will certainly fit in here.
'He is a top player and will make us stronger. We need to have big signings so we can compete and he is one of those players.
'Christian will improve the team. But we need more improvements if we want to be at the top of the league this season.
'Maybe he will find the pace of here a bit of a culture shock. He will have to get used to the extra high tempo.
'He has played in Italy, Spain and Germany and done very well, so I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be a success with Liverpool.
'We have Mascherano but it looks like he is leaving so there is a gap there.'
