Pontus Jansson has become the latest Leeds United player to extend their stay at Elland Road, by putting pen to paper on a new five year deal.

Swedish international Jansson joined the Whites from Italian outfit Torino on loan at the beginning of the 2016/17 season, before the deal became permanent over the summer.

The 26-year-old has made a total of 47 appearances for Leeds, scoring three goals and has become a key figure at the heart of the Leeds defence.

The centre back Jansson joins a long list of Thomas Christiansen's squad to commit their future to Leeds with the likes of Eunan O’Kane, Stuart Dallas, Kalvin Phillips, Gaetano Berardi, Ronaldo Vieira, Conor Shaughnessy, Liam Cooper and Luke Ayling all signing new long term contracts this summer.

Jannson's new deal will expire at the end of the 2021/22 season.
