The Bundesliga side made his stay permanent by exercising the purchase clause later that year.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his permanent move to Borussia Dortmund, Nottingham Forest had shown serious interest. Fast forward to 2026 and Arsenal and Leeds United have emerged as his new contenders from England.<\/p>\n<p>At the German club, he mainly operates as a left wing-back, managing six goals and six assists from 60 matches. This includes four goals and two assists form 39 matches from this season.<\/p>\n<p>His Bundesliga stats per game for this season are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Key passes: 1.1<\/li>\n<li>Interceptions: 0.7<\/li>\n<li>Tackles: 1.2<\/li>\n<li>Possession won (final third): 0.3<\/li>\n<li>Clearances:\u00a0 2.4<\/li>\n<li>Ball recovered: 2.7<\/li>\n<li>Duels won: 3.1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>His performances would have seen Arsenal, Leeds United, Real Madrid and several other clubs take notice.<\/p>\n<h2>Responds to Arsenal and Leeds United links<\/h2>\n<p>Last month, Sport Witness covered claims from Germany that Arsenal and Daniel Farke\u2019s side are both chasing him. Bild stated Leeds United in particular are keen on securing his services in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Svensson is currently with Sweden for this ongoing international break, and it gave <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotbollskanalen.se\/artiklar\/bundesliga\/svensson-slar-ner-flyttsnack-har-mer-att-utratta-i-dortmund\">The soccer channel<\/a> an opportunity to have a chat with him. Last week, he came off the bench in Sweden\u2019s 3-1 win over Ukraine in the World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n<p>The first part of the interview is about this clash, and the rest is on BVB and the transfer links.<\/p>\n<p>As things stand, he doesn\u2019t want to change clubs after this season.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNo, I wouldn\u2019t say that. I\u2019m really happy in Dortmund. I haven\u2019t been there for that long. I feel like I have more to do there. I\u2019m really happy to be there,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p>Expressen recently said Real Madrid scouts watched him in action for Borussia Dortmund, but he isn\u2019t aware of it.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI haven\u2019t heard anything about it, to be honest. I have nothing to say about it. Because I don\u2019t know anything about it. It\u2019s not something I\u2019m thinking about. But it\u2019s clear that it\u2019s fun,\u201d<\/em> Svensson explained.<\/p>\n<p>Fotbollskanalen specifically points out Bild\u2019s report on Arsenal and Leeds United and ask whether a summer move is on the cards.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m just focusing on Dortmund. That\u2019s where I am and I\u2019m really enjoying it. It\u2019s not something I have any focus on. We have important games left in the season,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<h2>Sweden\u2019s fixtures and squad<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_572390\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-572390\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson.jpg\" alt=\"Leeds United target Daniel Svensson\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" class=\"size-full wp-image-572390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson-631x420.jpg 631w, https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn.sportwitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Daniel-Svensson-681x454.jpg 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-572390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leeds United target Daniel Svensson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Daniel Svensson\u2019s immediate focus is on Sweden\u2019s World Cup qualifier against Poland on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Graham Potter\u2019s full squad:<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeepers: Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Melker Ellborg, Noel Tornqvist<\/p>\n<p>Defenders: Victor Lindelof, Isak Hien, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Carl Starfelt, Daniel Svensson, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Herman Johansson<\/p>\n<p>Midfielders: Mattias Svanberg, Jesper Karlstrom, Yasin Ayari, Hugo Larsson, Lucas Bergvall, Besfort Zeneli, Gustav Lundgren, Williot Swedberg, Eric Smith, Elliot Stroud<\/p>\n<p>Forwards: Viktor Gyokeres, Anthony Elanga, Gustaf Nilsson, Benjamin Nygren, Roony Bardghji, Taha Ali.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n    <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Daniel Svensson has been asked about interest shown by several clubs, including Arsenal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
