He has tallied seven shots (two on target), six chances crated, and four inaccurate crosses in the last five games. Lecce will host Sassuolo Friday.

Scores in Serie A debut Almqvist drew two fouls and scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Lazio.

Impact Almqvist quickly asserted himself as one of the main offensive threats for Lecce, had a lot of touches, and leveled the game with a crafty shot from the edge of the box. He was productive at Pogon Szczecin and appears to have settled in a hurry.

Joins Lecce Almqvist has transferred to Lecce on a season-long loan from Rostov, the team announced.

Impact Almqvist played with Pogon Szczecin in Poland in the past season, recording five goals and six assists in 27 matches, putting together his best campaign yet. He previously starred for a few Swedish outfits before spending two years in Russia, failing to break through. He'll be able to feature in all three spots of the offensive trident for Lecce.
