# Liverpool: Reds could still sign Mikkel Damsgaard

**Liverpool are still reportedly interested in signing Sampdoria and Denmark midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard before the transfer window closes.**

### The Lowdown: Damsgaard linked with Liverpool move

The 21-year-old made a name for himself at Euro 2020, helping Denmark reach the semi-finals without key man Christian Eriksen, [scoring twice and assisting once](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/401168/Show/Mikkel-Damsgaard) in the tournament.

Damsgaard has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-fans-want-reds-to-sign-mikkel-damsgaard/) with a move to Liverpool this summer, as he potentially looks for a bigger challenge away from Sampdoria.

### The Latest: Another update emerges

It appears as though the Reds’ interest in the attacking midfielder hasn’t gone away, with [*La Repubblica*](https://www.repubblica.it/) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-united-eligible-candidate-sign-player/)\] reporting that they are ‘eligible candidates’ to sign him, along with Leeds United.

Damsgaard’s current Sampdoria deal doesn’t [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/profil/spieler/540941) until 2024, however, so a sizeable bid may be needed to prise him away.

### The Verdict: Much-needed addition?

Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea was further proof that Liverpool lack attacking options from the substitutes’ bench, with Jurgen Klopp’s men running out of steam against ten men – the manager opted to bring on left-back Kostas Tsimikas when chasing a goal.

Damsgaard could be a player who comes in and provides that, producing guile in attacking areas and possessing the [versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikkel-damsgaard/profil/spieler/540941) to thrive centrally and out wide.

Admittedly, he remains relatively unproven, despite his performances at the Euros, but he could thrive working under Klopp and may be seen as a long-term investment.
