Poulsen, 24, has stuck around, and today - five and a half years later - he has grown into a leading players at the club that won promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016.
"I have become one of the leading players. I have played for the club for almost five and a half years now, and I have grown as a person," Poulsen said in an interview with Sport1 and added:
"It has been necessary for more players to take the lead, because for a while, we didn't have many players who took responsibility. Now, I'm one of the players who make the others listen."
The Danish international has previously been linked with a move to the English Premier League, but the striker says he isn't interested in leaving RB Leipzig right now.
"Not at the moment, but maybe someday. I still have a lot to do in Leipzig," he said.
Poulsen has played 196 games for RB Leipzig, and that makes him the club's record appearance holder.
