Agger tips Poulsen to be Anfield hit

10 August 2010 13:30
Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger believes international team-mate Christian Poulsen will be "a perfect addition" to Roy Hodgson's squad. The Denmark defender is looking forward to welcoming the midfielder to the club as the 30-year-old edges nearer completing a move from Juventus. Poulsen has been given permission to withdraw from Denmark's friendly against Germany and is believed to have been offered a three-year contract by Reds boss Hodgson, who first signed the player for FC Copenhagen in 2000. "Christian would be a perfect addition to most of the big clubs in Europe, so he will certainly fit in here," said Agger. "He is a top player and will make us stronger. We need to have big signings so we can compete and he is one of those players. "Christian will improve the team. But we need more improvements if we want to be at the top of the league this season."
