Hammers boss David Moyes is keen to bring the 20-year-old attacking midfielder to the London Stadium this summer (The Athletic).
The East London outfit were first linked with the silky youngster back in January (Club Doria 46).
In fact, West Ham are thought to be leading the race to sign the prestigiously talented young Dane according to La Repubblica.
It seems as though the Hammers may well now have their work cut-out, however, with Spurs allegedly eyeing up a move for the Sampdoria ace.
Tottenham showing strong interest in West Ham target Damsgaard
Club Doria 46 claims that Spurs are very keen to bring the talented midfield ace to North London this summer.
Sampdoria will demand at least €20 million (£17 million) for Damsgaard according to Club Doria 46.
This news is disappointing to read because we think that the Sampdoria ace would be a very realistic signing for West Ham this summer.
He perfectly fits the profile of player Moyes likes to sign.
The 20-year-old Sampdoria starlet is a left winger by trade. He can also operate in the central midfield and centre-forward positions, however.
Damsgaard is energetic, dynamic and plays with a real kind of enthusiasm that can be infectious to his teammates.
He really is a special young talent. The Dane would have slotted in perfectly at the London Stadium.
Tottenham entering the race to sign him could end up being a big problem for West Ham, however.

Much will depend on which club can offer him more guarantees of regular football.
One thing’s for sure, however. West Ham’s task of signing Damsgaard has just got a whole lot harder.
