Christian Poulsen Is Not Leaving Liverpool - Agent

The agent of Liverpool midfielder Christian Poulsen has rubbished reports linking the Dane to Copenhagen, and says that his client will not be leaving Anfield this summer.

Poulsen endured a poor first season at Liverpool after being signed by former manager Roy Hodgson last summer, and made just six appearances under new boss Kenny Dalglish, the last of which came in March.

But his agent Jorn Bonnesen told Onside.dk: “No, Christian Poulsen is not on his way to FC Copenhagen and he has not spoken to them.

“Christian Poulsen's future lies at Liverpool.”

The 31-year-old has two years left on his contract at Anfield but many expect him to leave after the arrivals of fellow midfielders Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam.

Poulsen was included in the Reds’ squad for a pre-season tour of China, and scored on Wednesday in a friendly against Guangdong Sunray Cave.

The former Juventus man, signed for £4.5 million last June, has been frozen out since making his last appearance in Liverpool’s 1-0 Europa League defeat against Braga.

Another of Hodgson's signings, left-back Paul Konchesky, has already left the club this summer, joining Sven-Goran Eriksson's Leicester City.
