Calcio Mercato claim Sampdoria have put a price tag of €30 million on Arsenal-linked Joachim Andersen, who also has interest from Spurs and Manchester United.
The central defender has been identified by the Gunners as a possible target for the January transfer window, with manager Unai Emery reportedly eager to add to his defensive ranks.
Summer additions Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichtsteiner have helped somewhat with tightening an infamously porous Arsenal defence, but fans, pundits, and club officials alike seem to think that further signings are necessary.
One such target is Joachim Andersen of Sampdoria.
The centre back joined the Serie A outfit last summer, and has shown himself to be a stable presence in the heart of the back four.
Standing at 6 ft 4 in, the Dane has an ideal frame for a centre-half in the modern footballing world.
It’s not just the Premier League that have taken a fancy to Andersen, however. Fellow Serie A clubs Internazionale and Juventus are also said to be vying for the Denmark U21 international.
