Barcelona ponder January deal for Juventus' Poulsen

Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen is a January target for Barcelona.

Barca coach Pep Guardiola has concerns over Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita, who will both be missing at the New Year due to African Nations Cup commitments.

Denmark international Poulsen, formerly of Sevilla, has been mentioned in transfer talks at Barca as a stop-gap for the second-half of the season. Guardiola is keen and knows Poulsen is still available from Juve, despite him featuring for their victory over Chievo on Sunday.
