According to Tuttosport, Tottenham are interested in signing Sampdoria wonderkid Mikkel Damsgaard, who is also wanted by Juventus.
The 20-year-old’s name is said to have been added to Jose Mourinho’s notepad ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tuttosport describe Damsgaard as one of the most interesting players in Serie A, before going on to discuss financial details.
The Italian news outlet state that Sampdoria paid just €6.4 million (£5.6 million) to sign the 1-cap Denmark international in a bargain move.
Now, the Serie A side value the forward at roughly €20 million (£17.6 million) – Tuttosport add that this figure could still rise between now and the summer.
In 20 Serie A outings this season, Damsgaard has scored two goals and assisted a further four.
That may seem like very few goal involvements, although that could be down to Claudio Ranieri’s use of him.
Tuttosport mention that the ex-Leicester boss has only used the Dane for an average of 54.5 minutes per game, while exactly half of his 20 appearances have come as starts.
The Italian is said to be managing Damsgaard carefully, to help him develop without burning him out.
If you’re wondering what type of player the youngster is, The Athletic profiled him in a piece detailing the finest talents in Serie A.
In their segment on Damsgaard, he is described as an elite shooter as well as a fine dribbler – by all accounts, he is very highly rated.
