Liverpool Flop To Join Ligue 1 Newcomers Evian

Liverpool flop Christian Poulsen has joined Ligue 1 newcomers Evian TG, despite late interest from Espanyol.

Poulsen failed to make his mark at Anfield after signing for the club from Juventus last summer and will leave the club having started just nine Premier League games.

It has been reported that Spanish club Espanyol were keen on a late move and asked Liverpool if they could take the 31-year-old on loan for the season.

But now Ligue 2 champions Evian have completed the permanent signing of the Danish midfielder, although Liverpool have taken a hefty financial hit on the player.

The Reds paid Juventus £4.5m for Poulsen and handed him a three-year contract at the club - but it is understood Evian have agreed to pay Liverpool just £750,000 to seal his signature.
