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

Club career

Iversen started out in the academy at Gørding LIF, after which he joined the biggest club in the region, Esbjerg as a 12-year-old.[2] He moved to English club Leicester City in January 2016, signing a contract until June 2019.[4]

Iversen moved on loan to EFL League Two side Oldham Athletic in July 2018,[5] the same day as he signed a new four-year contract with Leicester.[6] He made his professional debut on the first day of the 2018–19 season, starting the game against Milton Keynes Dons.[7] Iversen helped Oldham to an FA Cup "giant killing" against Premier League side Fulham, saving a late penalty in a 2–1 victory.[8] Iversen would go on to make 49 appearances in all competitions for The Latics.[7]

In July 2019, Iversen moved to EFL League One team Rotherham United on a season long loan.[9] Iversen made his Rotherham debut on 3 August 2019, in a 2–1 victory over AFC Wimbledon.[10]

In August 2020, Iversen joined Belgian First Division A team Oud-Heverlee Leuven on a season-long loan.[11] 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,[12] allowing him to move on loan to English club Preston North End that same day.[13] He returned to Preston North End for a second loan spell in August 2021.[14] He was named as the Lancashire side's Player of the Year for 2021–22.[15]

Iversen made his debut for Leicester (after six years with the club) on 23 August 2022 in an EFL Cup match away at Stockport County; he saved three penalties in the penalty shoot-out and was described as a "hero".[16][17] His performance was praised by Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.[18] He made his Premier League debut in a 1–1 draw against Brentford on 18 March 2023.[19]

International career

Iversen has represented Denmark at youth international levels from under-16 to under-21.[20][21] Iversen was called up to the under-21 squad for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, playing in all three of Denmark's games and saving a penalty in a 3–1 victory against Austria.[22][23] 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.[24]
