Brentford are closing on a £12.5million deal for Sampdoria midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard.
The fee will involve add-ons for the 22-year-old Denmark international, who can play left wing or behind the striker, and would help fill the void left by Christian Eriksen's departure.
The Dane played a key part in helping Brentford finish mid-table in their first Premier League season.
But despite having a lucrative offer to remain in west London, Eriksen decided to join Manchester United.
Damsgaard was one the standout players at Euro 2020 last year as Denmark reached the semi-finals.
