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.[2]
Poulsen won the 'Academy Player of The Year' award at FC Midtjylland for the 2017–18 season.[3]
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.[4] Poulsen signed a five-year contract with the German club.
On 3 January 2020, it was announced that Poulsen had been loaned to Austria Wien of the Austrian Bundesliga for the remainder of the season.[5]
On 8 February 2021, Poulson moved for a second time to Austria Wien, on a loan deal until the end of the season.[6]
