Daniel Unal (born 18 January 1990 in Locarno) is a Swiss footballer of Assyrian/Syriac origin who plays as a midfielder for FC Locarno.[1][2]
He started his career at AC Bellinzona in 2006 where he made seventeen appearances in his first and only season at the club. He was loaned to the U21-Team of A.S. Roma for the 2007/08 season and was set to sign on a permanent contract, as Bellinzona and Roma have a deal for players exchange, but he signed for FC Basel on 8 July 2008, instead. He made his Basel debut as a substitute in a 4–0 win over FC St. Gallen at St. Jakob-Park on 23 September 2009.[3]
He is a Switzerland under-20's internationalist.
