Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has told Sky Bet’s Facebook page that not one attacker he has come up against so far has given him a problem.

Jansson has now played 10 matches for Leeds, after signing on loan from Torino.

The centre-back has rapidly become a fans’ favourite at Elland Road, with his wholehearted performances earning him a lot of credit.

Leeds have conceded just six goals in the 10 matches which Jansson has played for them so far.

And the Swedish defender claims that he has not found marking Championship strikers out of the game a difficult task.

“I haven’t had a problem with anyone yet,” Jansson said, when asked who his toughest opponent so far has been.

Leeds are reportedly already in discussions to sign Jansson on a permanent deal (TalkSPORT), as he has made such a big impact for the Yorkshire club.

Jansson looks likely to start in Leeds’ next match, which comes against Burton Albion at the weekend.
