Many probably raised an eyebrow when top club Borussia Dortmund recently loaned in left-back Daniel Svensson from Danish Nordsjälland.
But the 23-year-old Swede has had a dream start in his new club.
The European Football Association Uefa has selected Svensson in the "Team of the Week" in the Champions League, for his performance in the 3–0 win away against Sporting.
Svensson then made his first start for Dortmund and was praised by Dortmund coach Niko Kovac.
He had no minutes and a long winter break in his legs, then you have to mention when you deliver such a performance. Fantastic, said Kovac after the triumph in Lisbon.
Daniel Svensson made his national team debut with a short substitute appearance away against Estonia last autumn.
