So, Liverpool’s hunt for new talent has led them to a young Swedish midfielder, Daniel Svensson. If you’re wondering why they’re so interested, it’s because this kid is drawing comparisons to none other than Eduardo Camavinga of Real Madrid. After missing out on Martin Zubimendi, Liverpool quickly turned their attention to Svensson, and they aren’t the only ones—Juventus is also in the mix.
Early Career and Impressive Growth
Svensson’s journey started in Sweden with IF Brommapojkarna when he was just 18. He didn’t need long to make an impression. After a handful of appearances, he was snapped up by Danish side Nordsjaelland for what seems like pocket change—just $301 according to TransferMarkt. Initially joining their U19 squad, he didn’t waste any time making his mark on the senior team. During the 2020 Danish Superliga season, he logged 1,400 minutes on the pitch, even picking up two assists in his 22 appearances.
Versatile Skill Set and Potential
Last season, Svensson’s stock only rose higher. Out of 32 league games, he played in 31, scoring twice and assisting eight times. Those stats put him just behind Elias Achouri of FC Copenhagen, a player who had caught the eye of Erling Haaland. That kind of company shows just how much potential Svensson has.
But it’s not just about the goals and assists with Svensson. His real strength lies in his versatility. Whether in the midfield or defense, he’s shown he can adapt to whatever the team needs. Already this season, he’s been shuffled around the pitch, playing in multiple positions. He started as a left-back in a win over Aalborg, then switched to right-back in a draw against Lyngby, and moved back to left-back in a tough loss to Silkeborg.
For Liverpool, a player like Svensson could be a perfect fit. His ability to adapt and his smart decision-making on the field make him a valuable asset. While Jamie Redknapp might advise against rushing into transfers, it’s easy to see why Liverpool’s scouts are so keen on this young talent. You never know, Svensson could be the next big thing at Anfield.
