Andersen played 34 matches in all competitions in the 2018/19 season.

And it’s claimed that the North London side are willing to spend £37million of that pot on Andersen and Praet.

Andersen, 23, has impressed in the centre of Sampdoria’s backline, while Praet, 25, played 34 Serie A matches in a creative midfield role.
