Daniel Mikołajewski (born 24 January 2006) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ekstraklasa club Zagłębie Lubin, on loan from Parma.[1]

Club career

Born in Nienburg, Lower Saxony, Germany,[2] Mikołajewski first played at youth level for multiple Pomeranian teams and Lech Poznań,[3] before joining Parma's academy in Italy in the summer of 2022,[4] after a trial at AS Roma in the previous winter.[5][6]

He joined the Primavera squad of the Parmesan club, while the first team played the Serie B, two years after being relegated from Serie A.[7] He soon became a regular starter with the under-20 team, whilst also proving to be a prolific goalscorer in the other age groups.[8][9]

In the beginning of the 2024–25 season, he was moved to Parma's senior squad, but remained on the bench in the first four games of the season.

On 6 September 2024, Mikołajewski returned to Poland to join Ekstraklasa club Zagłębie Lubin on a season-long loan.[10][11]

International career

Mikołajewski is a youth international for Poland, playing with the under-16 and under-17,[9] taking part in the 2023 European championship with the latter.[12]

He was a standout with Poland under-18s in September 2023 during a friendly tournament in Croatia that his team eventually won, scoring 5 goals in 3 games, most notably a hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Austria.[2][13][14][15]

Mikołajewski started all three games played by the under-17s at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[16]
