Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Sampdoria attacking midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard.
The Reds have been regularly touted as potential suitors for the Danish ace on the back of a superb European Championships.
Despite there only being two full days remaining in the summer transfer window, speculation continues to link Liverpool with a late swoop for the 21-year-old.
According to a report from La Reppublica (via Sport Witness) and as cited by SampNews24 on Twitter, Sampdoria are preparing for a ‘lunge’ from the Premier League.

The report claims that Liverpool and Leeds United are both ‘eligible candidates’ for the eight times capped Denmark man.
Last season, the ace once hailed as an ‘infant prodigy’ by Claudio Ranieri, Damsgaard scored twice and registered four assists in 35 Serie A outings

Signing the versatile midfielder would resolve two issues currently held in the Liverpool squad for Jurgen Klopp.
Short of first-team ready options in midfield and attack following the departure of Gini Wijnaldum and Xherdan Shaqiri, Damsgaard is equally adept in either role.
Valued at £18million and under contract until 2024 (Transfermarkt), reports claim Sampdoria will set an asking price of around £25million for their ace.
For the price and with Klopp in need of additional options, Damsgaard could present a viable opportunity even before the window closes on Tuesday.
