Pontus Jansson has become a cult hero already at Leeds United.

Pontus Jansson may only be on loan at Leeds United but since signing in August he has quickly become one of the club’s most popular players.

His uncompromising style has seen him forge a terrific partnership with fellow loanee Kyle Bartley in central defence, coinciding with an upturn in form which has the club just three points off the play-off places.

Jansson is becoming a cult hero, and this has been demonstrated by the way supporters enthusiastically responded to a chance to quiz him.

SkyBet are hosting a Facebook Live interview with Jansson later today, and appealed for fans to come up with the questions…

The responses were predictably entertaining. Here is a look at a selection of what supporters really want to know from their star centre-back…

A clause in the loan agreement between Leeds and Torino means the Whites will be able to sign Jansson permanently once he has played 20 games.

He is well on the way to doing this, having made 10 appearances so far, and the signs are that the defender is keen to put pen to paper on a permanent deal when the time comes.
