West Ham to rival Tottenham Hotspur for Sampdoria's Mikkel Damsgaard?

West Ham United are reportedly prepared to battle Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of Sampdoria's Mikkel Damsgaard.

The Denmark international only joined the top-flight Italian side last summer, but he has made an immediate impression with four goals and two assists in 21 Serie A appearances during the 2020-21 campaign.

Damsgaard's performances have reportedly caught the eye of Tottenham, but it appears that the Lilywhites will have to fend off interest from another capital side to land the 20-year-old attacker.

According to La Republicca, West Ham and Tottenham are just two of a number of Premier League sides interested in a deal for Damsgaard, who has also garnered the attention of Leeds United and Southampton.

The winger penned a four-year deal upon his arrival at Sampdoria in the summer of 2020, and it would reportedly take a fee of €20m (£17.5m) to prise him away from Liguria.

Serie A champions Juventus are also understood to be monitoring the situation.
