Nicolai Søberg Poulsen (born 15 August 1993) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Superliga club AGF.

Club career

Randers

Having progressed through the club's youth system, Poulsen made his first team debut for Randers in the 2012–13 season, ending up with a total of nine appearances.

Poulsen soon established himself as a first team regular, forming the central midfield with Randers' captain Christian Keller in the 2014–15 season.

AGF

On 3 June 2019, Poulsen joined AGF for the 2019–20 season.[3]

In October 2025, he set the record of most suspensions in Danish Superliga history, taking the record from Rasmus Würtz.[4] In 2026 he won the Danish Championship with the club, the first in 40 years.[5]

International career

In the autumn of 2014, Poulsen made his debut for the Denmark national under-21 football team in a friendly match against the Czech Republic.[6]

On 30 July 2016, Poulsen was selected for the Denmark Olympic national team that was to participate in the 2016 Summer Olympics.[7] However, in a Danish Superliga match against AGF the next day, Poulsen suffered a broken jaw in a head-to-head duel with his former teammate, AGF's Mustafa Amini and was therefore forced to stay at home.[8]
