Arsenal & Tottenham Set for Transfer Scrap as Interest in Highly-Rated Serie A Star Heightens

Arsenal and Tottenham are set to go head-to-head in the race to sign Sampdoria's Joachim Andersen.

The Danish youth international has made a bright start to the season, having kept five clean sheets in his opening 12 games in Serie A. His performances have generated significant interest ever since he moved to Sampdoria from Dutch side FC Twente in the summer of 2017.

Aged just 22, he's on the brink of receiving a first senior international call up for Denmark, having made 14 appearances for the Under-21s. National team manager Age Hareide has been keeping a close eye on Andersen's performances in Serie A and has been impressed with what he's seen.
