Daniel Iversen

**Daniel Lønne Iversen** (born 19 July 1997) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Leicester City.

## Club career

Iversen started his career in his native Denmark with Esbjerg before moving to English club Leicester City in January 2016, signing a contract until June 2019.

Iversen moved on loan to EFL League Two side Oldham Athletic in July 2018, the same day as he signed a new four-year contract with Leicester. He made his professional debut on the first day of the 2018–19 season, starting the game against Milton Keynes Dons. Iversen helped Oldham to an FA Cup "giant killing" against Premier League side Fulham, saving a late penalty in a 2–1 victory. Iversen would go on to make 49 appearances in all competitions for *The Latics*.

In July 2019, Iversen moved to EFL League One team Rotherham United on a season long loan. Iversen made his Rotherham debut on 3 August 2019, in a 2–1 victory over AFC Wimbledon.

In August 2020, Iversen joined Belgian First Division A team Oud-Heverlee Leuven on a season-long loan. Iversen started five games before suffering a hip injury in the match against Oostende. Following his return from injury, he became second choice goalkeeper behind Rafael Romo, which resulted in his loan being terminated on 7 January 2021, allowing him to move on loan to English club Preston North End that same day.

## International career

Iversen has represented Denmark at youth international levels from under-16 to under-21. Iversen was called up to the under-21 squad for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, playing in all 3 of Denmark's games and saving a penalty in a 3–1 victory against Austria. In September 2019, Iversen received his first call up to the senior Denmark team for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Gibraltar and Georgia.
