Arsenal target Praet's agent provides update on Sampdoria midfielder's future

Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet is "ready to join a big club" this summer amid reported interest from Arsenal , according to the player's agent.

The 25-year-old, who has three caps for Belgium, has made over 100 appearances for the Italian side since joining from Anderlecht in 2016.

The Gunners have been linked with a double swoop for the Belgian and team-mate Joachim Andersen, with some reports suggesting that the north London club have already had a €42m bid rejected for the duo.

AC Milan have also been linked with a move for the midfielder, with Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo believed to be the leading candidate to take charge at the San Siro.

And the player's agent, Martin Riha, revealed that his client is attracting interest from several clubs both inside and outside of Italy.

When asked whether Praet would move to Milan, Riha told CalcioMercato : "AC Milan is an important brand, it's a big name.

"But there are also other clubs that want to sign him, especially abroad, they've already shown their interest."

However, Riha refused to confirm whether Arsenal were among the clubs interested in the player, adding: "I can't add anything else now, I think you can understand.

"Dennis is a complete footballer and he is ready to join a big club.

"There are many clubs interested, we'll know everything in a few weeks".
