Club career

FC Midtjylland

Poulsen started his career in the local football club, Ikast KFUM. He made his professional debut in the Danish Superliga for FC Midtjylland on 1 December 2016 in a game against Silkeborg IF, where he played the whole game on the left back.[1]

Poulsen won the 'Academy Player of The Year' award at FC Midtjylland for the 2017–18 season.[2]

Borussia Mönchengladbach

After a great 2017–18 season for Poulsen with 12 games played for the first team, Poulsen was sold to Borussia Mönchengladbach for 34 million Danish kroner (€4.5 million) which could further increase to 50 million kroner (€6.7 million). This made him the most expensive teenager in Danish football history.[3] Poulsen signed a five-year contract with the German club.

Austria Wien

On 3 January 2020, it was announced that Poulsen had been loaned to FK Austria Wien of the Austrian Bundesliga for the remainder of the season.[4]
