Daniel Tjernström, born February 19 1974 in Karlskoga, Sweden, is a professional footballer with Swedish top side AIK. He is currently the captain of the team, and is one of AIK's most successful players. He was recently voted Most Valuable Player when he spearheaded the quick return to the Allsvenskan. His main strengths are his ability to read the game and his tireless running. His main weaknesses are that he is extremely left-footed and that he is relatively slow. Especially the latter quality has hindered him from getting capped more than five times with the Swedish national team (97-99).
