Samuel Elias Dahl (born 4 March 2003) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Roma and the Sweden national team. [1] [2]
Dahl joined Djurgårdens IF on 24 July 2023 on a reported 3 million kronor transfer from Örebro SK, and signing a 4.5 year contract that stretched through the 2027 season.
Dahl was initially not considered a clear starter, but rather a backup at the left back position for the more experienced Rami Kaib who had also joined from SC Heerenveen in the summer window. However, with Kaib struggling in his first appearances, Dahl was given the chance and immediately made an impact, laying claim on the starting spot and cementing his position in the starting 11. His high quality play was particularly impressive given his young age and lack of top-flight experience. His consistency during the remainder of the 2023 Allsvenskan season and his continued high form entering the 2024 season earned him a call up to the Sweden national team and he garnered significant interest on the international market. His play in 2024, blending excellent defensive work with great offensive vision and forming a dangerous partnership with Tobias Gulliksen on Djurgårdens IF's left flank, earned him high praise from the Djurgårdens IF fan base and he was frequently considered the best player on the pitch.
After much speculation during the 2024 summer transfer window, it was announced that Dahl had signed for Serie A club Roma on 28 July 2024, almost exactly one year after joining Djurgårdens, for a reported €4.3 million fee. [3]
