Spurs are reportedly eyeing Mikkel Damsgaard with a view to a summer approach.

The Daily Star first reported in February that Tottenham were keeping tabs on the Denmark international.

Leeds United, West Ham and Southampton have also been checking Damsgaard out, added the outlet.

Spurs newcomer Paratici reportedly keen on Damsgaard

Now, according to Samp News 24, new Spurs director Fabio Paratici has earmarked the 20-year-old for a summer move.

Damsgaard joined Sampdoria last September from Nordsjaelland.

The Italians reportedly paid £5.8m, making him Nordsjaelland’s third most profitable sale.

Damsgaard has done so well that several clubs reportedly began monitoring him within months.

The Dane made 35 Serie A appearances last season, registering two goals and four assists.

Gazzetta dello Sport speculated in January that he’s now worth around £18m minimum.

Damsgaard is also in Denmark’s squad at Euro 2020 and, on Thursday, delivered a masterclass against Belgium.

He pulled the strings in midfield and covered every blade of grass for his team, which led 1-0 at the break.

Admittedly, Damsgaard did let himself down with a 70th-minute dive, for which he received a booking.

Belgium also fought back into the game and scored a second, after which Damsgaard was substituted.

Denmark sadly fell to a 2-1 defeat which knocked them out of the tournament.

Despite Damsgaard’s evening ending on a sour note, fans were still delighted with his display.

Here is what some supporters said on Twitter about the young prodigy:
