Overview
- Both clubs announced the deal on Thursday, confirming a loan through the rest of the season with a purchase option.
- Andreas Bornemann said St. Pauli agreed to the move after Ahlstrand asked for a chance to gain more minutes at a high level.
- Heracles director Ernest Faber described Ahlstrand as a versatile option across midfield and attack who brings creativity, pace and intensity.
- Ahlstrand joined St. Pauli from Halmstads BK in early 2024 for about €650,000 and logged six brief first-team appearances totaling just over 40 minutes.
- He played frequently for St. Pauli’s second team and said the Eredivisie’s open style and Heracles’ development pathway appealed to him.
