Aston Villa reportedly now leading Mikkel Damsgaard race

Aston Villa are leading the race to sign Sampdoria ace Mikkel Damsgaard, according to a report from Calciomercato.

The 21-year-old is allegedly available for as little as €30 million (£25.3m).

Villans boss Dean Smith has already spent big at Villa Park this summer.

Emiliano Buendia, Leon Bailey, Danny Ings and Ashley Young have been signed while Jack Grealish has joined Manchester City.

However, it seems as though Smith’s business is far from being done.
