Leeds United star Pontus Jansson eyes Premier League move amid interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham

Leeds defender Pontus Jansson has set his sights on playing Premier League football next season, amid reported interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham.

The 26-year-old has been a revelation since arriving at Elland Road from Torino last summer, chalking up 32 Championship appearances.

His form initially alerted the attention of Southampton, who may be in the market for a new centre-back this summer with the future of Virgil van Dijk still unclear.

The south coast club had watched Jansson during his time at Malmo and it is understood they have scouted him during his time at Leeds too.
