Noel Whelan aims dig at Leeds United defender
Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan has given a damning verdict on centre back Pontus Jansson, claiming that the Swede has a penchant to go missing during tough situations.
Jansson arrived at Elland Road on a season long loan deal from Serie A club Torino this summer. The Swedish international made a sensational start at his new club, helping Thomas Christiansen’s men keep a clean sheet in his first six appearances for Leeds. But much of that early season form has vanished as Leeds have slumped to fifth in the Championship having lost each of their last three games in the league.
This has prompted Whelan to question Jansson’s mental toughness to deal with pressure situations.
