Espanyol In For Reds Wantaway

Liverpool expects Christian Poulsen to bring an end to his Anfield nightmare by completing a move to Espanyol this week.

The Danish international joined the Reds last summer when Roy Hodgson was in charge but failed to impress under the former manager and found himself out in the cold once Kenny Dalglish took over.

With Liverpool having a plentiful supply of central midfielders following the arrivals of Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson this summer Dalglish is keen to get rid of Poulsen.

Spanish side Espanyol are now thought to have made an offer to take the 31-year-old on loan for the rest of the season, with a view to a permanent move.

However, the only sticking point could be Poulsen's £40,000-a-week wages, with Espanyol reluctant to cough up for his whole pay package and Liverpool unwilling to subsidize.
