Liverpool Flop Chased By Espanyol

Former Liverpool midfielder Christian Poulsen is wanted by Spanish side Espanyol after rediscovering his best form for in France after a nightmare spell on Merseyside.

The Denmark international was signed by Roy Hodgson in the summer of 2010 but struggled to make an impact in the Liverpool first team and was eventually sold by Kenny Dalglish.

Poulsen eventually joined Ligue 1 side Evian on a one-year contract and has rediscovered the type of form that first attracted the interest of Liverpool.

The 32-year-old has been a regular starter for the French side this season and has helped the side steer well clear of relegation as they currently sit 10th in the league.

His impressive form has caught the eye of Espanyol who are hoping to be able to pick the midfielder up on a free transfer at the end of the season.

"It's correct that there have been some enquiries from clubs from the biggest leagues in Europe," Poulsen's agent Jorn Bonnesen told Sporten.dk, as reported on Sky Sports.

"They have noticed that Christian is close to his former level and a very important player for Evian. We will, of course, talk to Evian before we talk to other clubs."

Poulsen has vast experience having played in all of the major European leagues and was previously a hit in Spain when he was a member of the Sevilla side that won the Copa Del Rey and UEFA Cup in 2007.
