Denmark midfielder Christian Poulsen has joined Liverpool on a three-year deal from Juventus.

Liverpool will pay 5.475 million euros ($7.13 million) for Poulsen, according to Juventus, which could receive another 1.2 million euros ($1.56 million) if the player reaches undisclosed performance levels.

The 30-year-old Poulsen is linking up with manager Roy Hodgson for the second time. The Englishman signed him in 2000 at FC Copenhagen.

Known for his physical style, Poulsen's first move outside Denmark was to German club Schalke. He then played two seasons with Sevilla in Spain before moving to Juventus for the 2008-09 season.
