Brentford complete signing of Denmark international Damsgaard | OneFootball

Brentford have confirmed the arrival of Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard.

Damsgaard has joined the Bees on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee and is set to begin training with the club ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United this weekend.

“Mikkel is, in my opinion, another classic Brentford signing,” said head coach Thomas Frank.

“He is a young player with big potential to develop further. We know we can help Mikkel reach his highest level, we have the staff here that have experience in doing that and we are looking forward to working with him.

“[He] is capable of creating and scoring goals and he has the ability to run with the ball past players. That is a great asset to have in the squad. He will create chances for us and is fantastic at getting out of tight areas with the ball, we will benefit from that.”

The 22-year-old, who has already been capped 16 times by Denmark was a star at Euro 202o and becomes Frank’s sixth signing of the summer window.
