Brentford FC sign Damsgaard from Sampdoria – reinforcements for Danish faction

3rd newcomer from Serie A

Brentford FC have once again found what they are looking for in Serie A when they are looking for reinforcements. Mikkel Damsgaard is moving from Sampdoria Genoa to the “Bees” in London. The 22-year-old winger has signed a contract with the Premier League club until 2027. An agreement between the Italians and the English regarding the fee went through the media a few days ago.

For the services of the 16-time Danish national player, whose working paper in Genoa would have been valid for two more years, around 15 million euros are due – which corresponds to his current market value. Brentford only spent more on three professionals. Previously, Brentford had already brought Aaron Hickey (20) from and goalkeeper (27) from. In total, the club, including Damsgaard, spent a good 50 million euros on newcomers this summer, a value in the lower third in a Premier League comparison to date.

“Mikkel is another classic Brentford signing in my opinion. He is a young player with great development potential. We know we can help Mikkel reach his highest level,” said coach Thomas Frank. Brentford has the employees with the right experience for this, the coach emphasized.

Damsgaard is the 19th Danish professional in Brentford’s history, only Ireland, Scotland and Wales have had more players. The West Londoners’ current squad includes five Danes who are coached there by fellow countryman Frank. With Christian Eriksen (30; to Manchester United), Zanka (32; without a club) and goalkeeper Jonas Lössl (33; end of loan), three Danes left the club in the summer.
