Poulsen considering French stay

Midfielder Christian Poulsen is considering his future after being offered a two-year contract to extend his stay at Evian.

The Dane joined the club from Liverpool, where he spent an unhappy year, making only 12 appearances after a £4.5million move from Juventus. The 32-year-old is now considering whether to extend his stay at the French side after they offered him the new deal, although FC Copenhagen are believed to be waiting in the wings in a bid to take the player back to his homeland. "We want to keep Christian Poulsen," said Evian sports director Pascal Dupraz to Tipsbladet.dk. "We have agreed an appointment with him, as far as I understand Christian will either stay with us or return to Denmark." Poulsen has made 20 appearances for Evian this season as the club sit ninth in the Ligue 1 table.
