Daniel Håkans (born 26 October 2000) is a Finnish professional footballer playing as a winger for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań and the Finland national team. Born in Vaasa, Håkans is a Swedish-speaking Finn.

Club career

SJK

He started to play football with a local club VIFK, before moving to Seinäjoki and signing with Veikkausliiga club Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho (SJK) in 2019, starting in the club's academy team SJK Akatemia in the second-tier. He said in an interview that he didn't speak any Finnish before moving to Seinäjoki, and learned the language there. In SJK, Håkans was deployed in many different roles, as a wing-back and as a midfielder as well.

FK Jerv

In the summer 2022, Håkans signed a loan deal with Norwegian Eliteserien club Jerv for the rest of the season, with a purchase option. Despite Jerv being relegated after the season, the club exercised their option and Håkans signed a permanent deal, for a total fee of €210,000.

Vålerenga

However, after only a short time, Håkans was acquired by fellow Eliteserien side Vålerenga on a four-year deal as the replacement for Osame Sahraoui, for a transfer fee of €400,000. He usually celebrates his goals with a Käärijä-celebration.

Lech Poznan

On 1 August 2024, Håkans officially joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań on a deal until June 2028, for a reported fee of €850,000 which would rise to €1.27 million per add-ons.

International career

On 8 June 2023, he was called up to the Finland national team for the first time; he made his senior national team debut on 16 June 2023 against Slovenia. On 19 June 2023, in his second international appearance, he scored his first goals for his country – a hat-trick during a nine-minute span – after coming off the bench for Oliver Antman in the 60th minute of in a 6–0 win against San Marino during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying.

Håkans made six appearances in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualification campaign, scoring four goals.
