Damsgaard to Arsenal
Arsenal are already preparing to submit a formal proposal to complete the deal and are willing to spend a fee of around £33m with the Bees keen to cash in if they receive the offer.
The midfielder will enter the final two years of his current contract at the Gtech Community Stadium at the end of this season, so they are apparently open to letting him leave this year to make the most of his departure.
The 24-year-old has characteristics of an attacking midfielder, but can also play in the box-to-box area and on the left flank. He is technically sound, can make passes between the lines and is efficient on set pieces.
Arsenal could do with adding depth to their attacking midfield department, with Martin Odegaard being the only specialist option they currently have. Leandro Trossard can play in this position, but is more comfortable on the wing, while Ethan Nwaneri is still young and has now been injured after starting back-to-back games. Therefore, he is not yet ready to play regularly at this level.
Damsgaard is a talented player, but it will be interesting to see if the north London club finally adopt a concrete strategy to attract him to the Emirates Stadium in January or at the end of this season.
