Poulsen resigned to Anfield exit

To sign for Man United this summer:
Nasri 7/2, Modric 4/1 or Sneijder 1/5
Liverpool midfielder Christian Poulsen has resigned himself to leaving Anfield this summer in order to continue playing regular football. Danish international Poulsen, signed from Juventus last summer, failed to make a mark last season and is unlikely to garner too much playing time this season either with competition for spots coming from Steven Gerrard, Raul Meireles, Jonjo Shelvey, Lucas, Jay Spearing, new signings Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam and the returned-from-loan Alberto Aquilani.
Poulsen told Danish television station TV2 that he was hopeful of a resolution to his Liverpool future this month itself. The two time Danish footballer of the Year has two years left on his contract with Kenny Dalglish’s side and is unlikely to be short of suitors should Liverpool allow him to leave Anfield.

Latics sign winger Dicko

Wigan have completed the signing of young French winger Nouha Dicko on a free transfer. Dicko, 19, was on trial with the Latics after Strasbourg released him due to their financial problems and impressed the staff at the DW Stadium in the pre-season games against Preston and Villarreal to land a three and a half year deal.
Dicko thus becomes Roberto Martinez’s third signing of the summer after goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi and midfielder David Jones. Martinez said that he was one for the future, quoting his pace and talent as important qualities, and Dicko remarked that he would be trying to push for a regular spot in the Latics starting XI.
Wigan’s first game of the season is against Norwich City.

Norwich defender Smith signs for PNE

Preston North End have completed the transfer of defender Steven Smith from Norwich City on a free transfer. The Scottish left back could make his Preston debut in this weekend’s League one clash against Scunthorpe United. Smith can also play in midfield if required, a quality that would certainly have attracted Lilywhites gaffer Phil Brown.
Smith started his career with Rangers and played eight years with them before joining Norwich on a Bosman. He was once very highly regarded at Ibrox Park and was also capped by Scotland U-21. However a series of injuries resulted in him losing his first team spot. At Norwich, he found it difficult to settle and was therefore shipped out on loan to Aberdeen in the 2011 January window.
