The Spanish wizard has had to take his time to settle in but now he has it looks as though he could be a game changing signing for Leeds.

Playing in the playmaker role he is enjoying the freedom of the Championship and has already come up with some moments of magic this season.

Some more would be welcomed by the Leeds faithful.

The Swansea City loanee has proved a composed and solid option at the back – an area Monk desperately wanted to improve.

He has also added a goal threat from attacking set-pieces – something Leeds fans have longed for.

Undoubtedly the star for Leeds since his loan arrival from Torino. There is even a case that the Swede has been the best centre-back in the Championship so far this season.

A magnet to the ball with class in possession as well, Jansson is a dream option for the Championship.

Leeds fans will be hoping he can continue such form going forward.
