PRODIGY likened to Camavinga CONFIRMS Liverpool transfer interest
Rising Scandinavian star Daniel Svensson has acknowledged Liverpool’s interest in him and expressed his intention to move on from his current club in the near future.
According to Football Transfers in August, Liverpool have been closely monitoring the 22-year-old, who has drawn comparisons to Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga due to his versatility.
In a recent interview with Fotbollskanalen, Svensson revealed that Liverpool has "watched some matches" in which he played for Nordsjaelland, and he feels "absolutely ready" for a new challenge in one of Europe’s top leagues.

Svensson ready to move on
After five seasons in Denmark, the Swedish left-back (who can also operate in midfield) said: “The idea is that I will move on relatively soon…it might happen that I play the whole season and then move on.”
He added that playing time is the most important factor in choosing his next club, as it will allow him to continue his development.
“The most important thing is that I get playing time. It is still a step where I want to take to continue developing. I do that by playing. The most important thing is that I come to a club that has a good plan for me. Which league it is, it doesn’t really matter," Svensson added.
Svensson might need patience if he joins Liverpool, where he would likely start behind Andy Robertson, much like Kostas Tsimikas. However, his ability to play in multiple positions could make him a valuable asset for the squad, even if it takes a while to break into the first team.
If Liverpool’s scouting reports are positive, their interest may soon move from observation to a formal approach.
It is clear from his comments that Svensson would welcome an opportunity to join the Merseyside club.
