Tottenham among six clubs targeting Christian Eriksen's international teammate
Tottenham Hotspur are one of many clubs eyeing a move for a Premier League attacking midfielder, who managed 14 goal contributions last season, and the Lilywhites may have one big advantage over the other suitors.
Tottenham Hotspur are very well stocked when it comes to number eights, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall in their ranks.
However, there is a big question mark about their roles this season, with Thomas Frank set to replace Ange Postecoglou at the helm.
It has now emerged that the Lilywhites are plotting a move for another versatile attacking midfielder, who has thrived under the Danish coach over the last three seasons.
Tottenham want Mikkel Damsgaard but face intense competition
CaughtOffside have now claimed that Spurs are set to turn their attention to Brentford midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard, whose future at the Gtech Community Stadium is in doubt.
Tottenham are closely monitoring his situation and are weighing up an offer, with the Lilywhites believing that the 24-year-old would improve their midfield by adding more technical quality and creativity.
However, they are not the only ones interested, with Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and West Ham United also keeping an eye on Damsgaard, while Napoli and Inter Milan are also considering a move.
It is revealed that Brentford are open to offers in the range of €40m-€50m (£34m-£42.5m) for the player.
Tottenham may have an advantage in Mikkel Damsgaard race
CaughtOffside point out that Frank is on course to take over as the Tottenham head coach, and suggest that his appointment may give the North Londoners an advantage in the transfer race.
The Denmark international is expected to be open to reuniting with his current boss at N17 this summer, having developed impressively under him since arriving at the West London club from Sampdoria in 2022.
However, it was reported by Football Insider a couple of days ago that Brentford may seek assurances from Spurs about not poaching any of their players while negotiating a deal for Frank.
