Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen - a reported target of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur - says that he is open to signing for a new club this summer.

Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen has said that it may be the right time to move to a bigger club.

Andersen has made a positive impact during his time at the Serie A outfit, making a total of 32 starts in Italy's top flight this season.

However, there has been frequent talk regarding a potential move to the Premier League as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur consider an approach for the Denmark international.

The 23-year-old has responded to the rumours by telling Goal.com: "It could be time for me to further my career. I have loved my time in Sampdoria but maybe it's time to move on to develop further.

"There are a number of interesting clubs from Europe's biggest leagues who are discussing with my agent and I'll be making a decision shortly together with my family and my agent.

"I have dreams of playing in the biggest clubs in the world and the biggest leagues in the world."

AC Milan are another team who could be in the mix after manager Marco Giampaolo left Sampdoria for San Siro.
