Juventus are just hours away from completing the signing of Sevilla’s controversial midfielder Christian Poulsen, according to the latest reports in Italy.
Juve are well known to have made a centre midfielder their top priority this summer, but despite pouring their efforts into a host of targets, including Xabi Alonso, Alberto Aquilani, Dejan Stankovic and Marek Hamsik, they have yet to bring anyone in.
Last week it was reported in the press that the Bianconeri had turned their attentions to Sevilla’s Christian Poulsen.
The 28-year-old is something of an infamous figure in Italy, following his clash with Francesco Totti in a Euro 2004 group game between Italy and Denmark.
During that match in Portugal, Totti spat at Poulsen after being provoked by the midfielder, and was later banned for three games through the use of video evidence.
