# Tottenham Hotspur: Daniel Levy eyeing Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard

**According to a report by Club Doria, via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/), Tottenham Hotspur are one of the Premier League clubs interested in signing Sampdoria talent Mikkel Damsgaard – with this update claiming an offer from Daniel Levy had been expected ‘[at any moment](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/)‘.**

Indeed, as per this claim, Spurs are eyeing Damsgaard for a potential move – with his current Serie A side now given apparent reason to ‘worry’ about their 2020 signing who arrived for just [€6 million (£5.2 million)](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/) last winter.

### Spurs eyeing Damsgaard

The 20-year-old, who has racked up [18 Italian top flight appearances](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/) so far this season, becoming a regular in the Sampdoria midfield, is now seemingly attracting eyes from the Premier League as a result.

Tottenham, as well as West Ham who have reportedly ‘[held a meeting](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/)‘, are one of the clubs touted as potential suitors by this report – and it’s even stated that an offer has been expected for the Dane ‘[at any moment](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/)‘.

This most recent claim backs up a previous report from [La Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Sampdoria/08-01-2021/damsgaard-tesoro-samp-pagato-6-milioni-ora-ne-vale-quasi-20-3902307465897_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazzetta.it%2FCalcio%2FCalciomercato%2FSampdoria%2F08-01-2021%2Fdamsgaard-tesoro-samp-pagato-6-milioni-ora-ne-vale-quasi-20-3902307465897.shtml) at the start of January, which revealed Spurs are keeping an eye on the young attacker with a view to the future.

Club Doria (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/)) now state that Sampdoria need to be ‘[careful](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/)‘ with their ‘[little gem](https://sportwitness.co.uk/meeting-west-ham-hammers-contact-signing-revealed-tottenham-offer-expected/)‘ amid this Premier League interest, and it’s clear to see why judging by his reputation.

### Transfer Tavern take

FC Nordsjaelland manager Flemming Pedersen (via[TUTTOmercatoWEB](https://m.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/la-nuova-stella-danese-che-ricorda-laudrup-damsgaard-ora-i-riflettori-del-mercato-1479251)) likened him to Champions League winner and Danish footballing icon Michael Laudrup last year, claiming he had not seen a countryman with such great potential since the former Barcelona star.

The price tag for Damsgaard, potentially as a result of his good form, has reportedly tripled since Sampdoria landed him – with [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-su-damsgaard-il-prezzo-e-triplicato-37953) recently claiming it has soared to around [€20 million (£17.65m)](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-su-damsgaard-il-prezzo-e-triplicato-37953).

Whether or not the Lilywhites do lodge an offer remains to be seen, but he certainly seems to be attracting interest.
