Liverpool's search for new talents has led them to a young Swedish midfielder, Daniel Svensson. If you're wondering why such interest, it's because the kid is being compared to none other than Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid. After losing Martin Zubimendi, Liverpool quickly turned their attention to Svensson, and they are not alone—the Juventus is also in the running.
The Rise of Daniel Svensson
Svensson's journey began in Sweden with IF Brommapojkarna when he was just 18 years old. It didn't take long for him to make a significant impression. After a few appearances, he was acquired by the Danish team Nordsjaelland for what seems like a nominal fee—only $301, according to TransferMarkt. Initially joining the under-19 team, he wasted no time making his mark on the first team. During the 2020 Danish Superliga season, he racked up 1,400 minutes on the pitch, even registering two assists in his 22 appearances.
Last season, Svensson's value only increased further. In 32 league games, he participated in 31, scoring twice and providing eight assists. These statistics placed him right behind Elias Achouri from FC Copenhagen, a player who caught the eye of Erling Haaland. This kind of company shows just how much potential Svensson has.
But it's not just about goals and assists with Svensson. His true strength, beyond that, lies in his versatility. Whether in midfield or defense, he has shown he can adapt to whatever the team needs. Already this season, he has been shifted across different positions. He started as a left-back in the victory over Aalborg, then moved to right-back in the draw against Lyngby, and later returned to left-back in a tough loss to Silkeborg.
For Liverpool, a player like Svensson could be a perfect addition. His adaptability and smart decision-making on the pitch make him a valuable asset. While Jamie Redknapp may advise against rushing transfers, it's easy to understand why Liverpool scouts are so interested in this young talent. Who knows, Svensson could be the next big name at Anfield.
