Manager Thomas Frank could hand Damsgaard his debut against Man United next Saturday
The Bees’ move for Damsgaard had been held up earlier this week amid talks over a clause to reduce his salary were the club to suffer relegation.
Brentford finished 13th in the Premier League last campaign and kicked off this season with a 2-2 draw against Leicester.
Two second-half goals from Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva rescued a point for the Bees, after Thomas Frank’s side went 2-0 down shortly after half-time.
Ex-Bees playmaker Christian Eriksen will return to Brentford with Man United next weekend
Damsgaard is likely to slot in as a workable replacement for playmaker Christian Eriksen, who snubbed Brentford in favour of Erik ten Hag’s Man United following his six-month spell at the club last campaign.
Eriksen is set for a speedy return to the Brentford Community Stadium next Saturday when United travel to London to face the Bees.
Ten Hag endured a disappointing start to life at Old Trafford as the Red Devils lost 2-1 to Brighton at home on Sunday.
