Player to watch: Mikkel Damsgaard
Mikkel Damsgaard is enjoying his best run of form since joining Brentford from Sampdoria in 2022.

The talented Danish international midfielder has taken his time to settle into life in England and the physical demands of the Premier League but the 24-year-old has become a regular in the Bees starting lineup this season.
The Dane has been a creative force this season
Damsgaard has chipped in with two league goals as well as eight assists this season, becoming a key creative player for Brentford as well as offering a goal threat from open play and set-pieces.
