Watch: Damsgaard leaves Italy ahead of Brentford move

Mikkel Damsgaard was seen at Genoa Airport this afternoon ready to embark for London ahead of his transfer to Brentford.

The Premier League side are prepared to pay Sampdoria around €20m total – a €14m fixed fee with €6m in add-ons – for the talented 22-year-old winger. Damsgaard had a tough outing last season due to a serious thigh injury, so he’ll be hoping to re-discover his form with Brentford.

Damsgaard will find a number of his compatriots in West London, from coach Thomas Frank to multiple squad members like Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen.
