Romain Gall has been tearing up the Swedish Allsvenskan since making the jump from a Third-division club to Sundsvall.

Reigning Swedish champion Malmo took notice, and went after the American midfielder, completing a transfer for Gall on Wednesday in a $560,000 deal.

The 23-year-old former U.S. Under-20 national team standout left the Crew after the 2015 season, signing with Swedish third-division side Nykopings BIS, where he played well enough to catch the attention of several Swedish clubs, including Sundsvall, which signed him a year later.

Gall has been on a goal-scoring tear, scoring nine goals for Sundsvall, a run that caught the attention of Malmo.

Now Gall is poised to join a Malmo side that will be competing in the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

  1. “Zlatan Ibrahimović started his professional career at Malmö FF. He made 40 league appearances and scored 18 goals for the club between 1999 and 2001”

    So lets hope this is the state to something spectacular!!!! ?

  2. This is a similar route to what Charlie Davies took prior to the car accident that derailed his European career. Hopefully he continues to grow and we see him in bigger leagues in the years ahead.

    • Gall is moving in an upward trajectory though since being dropped by Columbus. Going from 3rd division Sweden, to a weak 1st Division team, to a top 1st Division team. Hopefully he keeps progressing.

    Crew 2014: $51,886 2015: $63,420 (per spotrac.com)

    Would Gall be making TAM/DP level money if he stayed in MLS? I recall his playing time all but disappeared in 2015 after a promising 2014.
