Pontus Almqvist Scout Report

Pontus Almqvist, the Swedish winger for Lecce, showcases an impressive playing style and compelling potential in Italy's Serie A. At 24, his most noteworthy strength is undoubtedly his ball recovery, ranking in the 91st percentile against his peers. This demonstrates his high vigour and skilled defensive contributions, despite largely playing in advanced positions. He is also notably strong when it comes to progressive carrying, ranking in the 80th percentile, reflecting his ability to drive or carry the ball up the pitch successfully. However, Almqvist's game isn't without its weaknesses. He ranks alarmingly low when it comes to progressive passing (4.444%), demonstrating a possible inadequacy in his distribution skills, particularly in playing forward progressive passes. His disposal stat is another concern, falling into the 77th percentile, indicating his susceptibility to losing possession, a considerable disadvantage in the intense and strategic Serie A gameplay. His pass accuracy per 90 minutes also dips, placing him in just over the 6th percentile. Almqvist's goal threat, chance creation, and ball retention metrics hover around the average mark, revealing room for improvement. Goals and assists per 90 are below average, thus his offensive efficiency needs attention. Despite these weaknesses, Almqvist's strong ball recovery and potential to develop in his attacking play makes him one to watch in the future.
