Daniel Stensson (born 24 March 1997) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Djurgårdens IF in Allsvenskan.[2]

Career

[edit]

At the age of 16, Stensson played a four-nation U16 tournament against Finland, Estonia and Latvia.[3] Stensson started his youth career in Djurgårdens IF, but started his senior career in IF Brommapojkarna. Following a relegation from Superettan to Division 1, and loan to fellow third-tier club Assyriska FF, he moved to Italy and Serie C club AC Mestre.[1] The stay in Italy was short and marred by language barriers and not being "super ready to move abroad".[4]

Stensson returned to Division 1 with Akropolis IF, then Superettan with Dalkurd FF and GIF Sundsvall.[4] GIF Sundsvall were promoted from the 2021 Superettan, and Stensson made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2022 against IK Sirius.[2] Shortly after, he was signed by Sirius.[5] In 2023, Stensson became team captain. Sirius had a poor start to the season, and Stensson attracted criticism for faking an injury to draw out the playtime, but Sirius finished the season strongly and climbed several places in the table.[6][7][8][9]

Stensson remained captain of Sirius until he was bought by Djurgårdens IF in August 2024. When Djurgården faced Sirius later that month, Stensson was booed by the Sirius fans.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

Stensson's maternal grandfather was Italian.[4]
