Liverpool have continued their last-minute Anfield clearance sale, with flop signing Christian Poulsen moving to French side Evian Thonon Gailard. The French newcomers have signed the 31-year old Danish midfielder on a one-year contract.
The 31-year old midfielder signed for Liverpool last summer from Serie A side Juventus for a fee of £4.5 million, but has struggled to adapt to the English style of play, making only 12 league appearances for the club. Poulsen hadn't taken the field for the Reds since their tie against Braga in March, and with Kenny Dalglish looking to remove the deadwood at the club, has joined newly-promoted Ligue 1 side Evian in an attempt to get more first-team football.
An official statement on the French club's site announced the deal, stating : "It's official, Patrick Trotignon, the president of the SASP and Pascal Dupraz, the sports director, presented their latest recruit on Wednesday afternoon at the training centre. Christian Poulsen was hired for a season from Liverpool."
Liverpool too, confirmed the move, with a message on the club's site revealing the move and wishing the Dane well in his future endeavours.
"Liverpool have today confirmed that Christian Poulsen has completed his transfer to Evian Thonon Gaillard. The Danish midfielder moves to the French side after making 21 appearances in just over a year at Anfield. Everyone at Liverpool Football Club would like to wish Christian the best of luck with his future career."
Poulsen recently lost his place in the Denmark national squad due to his lack of playing time, and will see the move as a chance to regain that place.
