Leeds centre-back Jansson joins Brentford for £5.5m
Leeds United have sold defender Pontus Jansson to Brentford for a reported fee of £5.5million.
The Sweden centre-back was a key player for Leeds last season, making 39 Championship appearances.
However, he was said to have fallen out with head Coach Marcelo Bielsa, and the Argentine has subsequently allowed him to leave, with Jansson signing a three-year deal with the option of an extra year with the Bees.
