Everton are already making plans for the summer transfer window, with Daniel Svensson of interest.
The Sweden international has made a strong impression at Borussia Dortmund this season after arriving from Nordsjaelland in 2025, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 32 appearances in a left wing-back role.
On The Minute now claim that Everton have been left impressed by the 24-year-old after sending scouts to watch the Swede, so let’s take a more detailed look at what he could bring to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Should David Moyes play with a back three and wing-backs more regularly for Everton?

Everton could sign the next Joshua Kimmich if Daniel Svensson deal materialises
Borussia Dortmund paid around £6m to sign Svensson in May, and the German giants could soon make an enormous profit on that sum.
The man from Stockholm has played a key role so far this term, making 18 starts in the Bundesliga as Borussia Dortmund sit second – six points behind Bayern Munich in the title race – with just one defeat in 22 matches.
Niko Kovac even called Svensson a “Duracell bunny” as he likened the Everton target to Bayern Munich and Germany star Joshua Kimmich.
The official Bundesliga website quote the Croatian as saying: “He’s a Duracell bunny. He reminds me a bit of Joshua Kimmich. He also plays every game and runs 12 or 13 kilometres.”
- Full name: Daniel Jonathan Svensson
- Age: 24
- Date of birth: 12 February 2002
- Height: 1.83m (6ft)
- Nationality: Swedish
- Place of birth: Stockholm
- Club: Borussia Dortmund
- Position: Left wing-back
On The Minute actually claim that these stamina levels have impressed Everton scouts, along with his “positional flexibility and calm use of the ball” in Dortmund.
Daniel Svensson scouting mission suggests Everton have made a decision on Vitalii Mykolenko
Vitalii Mykolenko has struggled this season, and with his contract set to expire in July, the fact Everton are looking at another left-back suggests they are ready to replace the Ukraine international.
It could also point to a possible departure for the 19-year-old Adam Aznou, who moved from Bayern Munich to Everton in an £8m deal last summer.
Moyes has not given the Morocco international a second of Premier League football so far this season, so perhaps a decision has been made to either sell or loan the teenager out.
