Pontus Jansson is reportedly set to leave Leeds United and join Brentford in the summer transfer window.

According to The Mirror, Pontus Jansson will leave Leeds United and join Championship rivals Brentford in the summer transfer window for a fee of £5.5 million.

It has been reported that Leeds have accepted a £5.5m bid from Brentford, and that the Sweden international will discuss terms and undergo a medical at the Bees this week.

While Leeds reportedly want to move on the centre-back, him joining Brentford this summer is a downward step.

Leeds are a much bigger and more historic club, and their fanbase is also much larger than than of Brentford.

Moreover, the Whites will challenge for the top two places in the Championship next season, and in Marcelo Bielsa’s second season, they could well do it.

Brentford are an established Championship club, and in recent seasons, the Bees have challenged for the playoffs, but there is not much pressure on them as there is on Leeds to succeed.

Jansson is a very good defender and is one of the best in his position in the Championship, and the Swede could have joined a bigger club than Brentford this summer.
