Poulsen: I have a lot to prove
New Liverpool midfielder Christian Poulsen believes he has plenty to prove after his move from Juventus despite being a vastly-experienced international.
The 30-year-old has won 77 caps for Denmark and has been a mainstay in Europe's top leagues for the last eight years, having featured for Schalke in the Bundesliga, Sevilla in La Liga before moving on to Italy's Serie A with his former employers.
He has even played under Reds boss Roy Hodgson before, when the Englishman signed him prior to FC Copenhagen's title-winning season of 2000/01.
However, that does not mean the combative midfielder will rest on his laurels - especially as some fans will need some convincing he can plug the gap expected to be left by wantaway Argentina captain Javier Mascherano.
"With this move here I have a lot to prove," said the veteran of two World Cups, who has signed a three-year contract after joining for an initial fee of £4.5million with another £1million payable on certain conditions.
"If you come to a club like Liverpool, you have to deliver. I will hopefully show I can be a good player for Liverpool."
