18-year-old Danish left-back Andreas Poulsen, who plays for Danish champions FC Midtjylland, is close to a move to Borussia Mönchengladbach.





According to Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, the two sides agreed a deal for the young defender last night. Gladbach will pay around €4,5 million plus a potential fee of €2 million in bonuses for Poulsen. That means the 18-year-old is set to become the most expensive Danish teenager ever.



"I'm proud that such a big club are looking at me. They have followed me for a while, and that means a lot to me. It's a really good club that believes in young players, and obviously that means a lot for a player's development," Poulsen told Ekstra Bladet yesterday.



Poulsen, a player that Gladbach have been watching for the past year, was in the starting eleven eight times for FC Midtjylland during the 2017/18 season and made his debut for the club in 2016.



Gladbach already have one Dane in the squad in the form of Jannik Vestergaard.
