Tottenham could emerge as the strongest contenders to complete the signing of Sampdoria forward Mikkel Damsgaard this summer, with the 21-year-old expected to join a Premier League club, according to reports. Damsgaard has been one of the standout performers at Euro 2020 with Denmark, chipping in with two goals and an assist in five appearances at the tournament.
He scored a remarkable free-kick in Wednesday evening’s semi-final clash with England to give the Danes an early lead, but was unable to prevent the Three Lions from booking their place in the final against Italy on Sunday evening after extra-time.
Damsgaard’s impressive showings have risen his stock since the beginning of the tournament, with a number of clubs believed to be keeping tabs on his potential availability this summer.
He remains under contract with Sampdoria until 2024 but has been linked with the likes of AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan in recent weeks.
Tottenham are also understood to be keen admirers of Damsgaard and could look to mount an approach for his services under the guidance of new managing director of football Fabio Paratici.
If the north London club decide to act on their reported interest this summer, it seems as though Denmark’s brightest young talent could welcome their approach with open arms.
