The Denmark international has caught the eye of many top clubs with a string of excellent performances for club and country and is available on a Bosman transfer
Simon Poulsen impressed everyone with his impressive showing for Denmark in Euro 2012 and has attracted interest from several European clubs. The fact that the player is available as a free agent has alerted many clubs and Olympique Lyonnais is one of those
clubs who wants to attain the services of the talented left-back.
The 27-year-old spent four seasons with Dutch side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753.
Following the expiration of his contract with AZ, Poulsen has been courted by many sides in recent weeks. Lyon, Aston Villa and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 are rumoured to be the top three clubs in the race to acquire the services of highly-rated left-back.
According to French media, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 have approached the player and have held talks with player’s representatives. However, player’s agent has refused to comment on his client’s future and has claimed that several clubs are in contact with Poulsen
and the player has not yet made a decision about his future.
Good news for Lyon is that the Denmark international wants to play in a new league and has declined an offer from Dutch side Ajax, despite the fact the Amsterdam club will be playing in Champions League next season.

While talking to reporters few days ago, Poulsen reiterated his desire to play in a new league that puts Les Gones in the frame.
"I want to confront the high level, in a major championship. I want to try something different and live in another country. I have not closed any door."
Lyon are monitoring this whole situation very closely and are in constant contact with Poulsen’s representatives. Les Gones hopes to sign the player of such calibre who can play at several positions and would cost nothing.
