Leeds star retains affection for former club Malmo.
Leeds’ Pontus Jansson celebrates
While some footballers are already off on their beach holidays or in Vegas, Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson is back inside a football stadium.
The centre-back had flown back to Sweden to see former club Malmo take on Osterland, a game they won 2-1.
Jansson posted a message on Twitter showing his view from inside the stadium.
Jansson is a player who simply has passion for football, and that is what makes him so adored by Leeds fans and at his former club Malmo.
Yet this was hardly his first choice of action this weekend.

This was the weekend the Championship play-offs kicked off, which Jansson fully anticipated being involved with for Leeds, even right down to the wire.
The Whites fell short after a final month collapse, and ended up finishing in the unwanted seventh position.
Jansson will be back at Leeds for another tilt next season, although in recent days there has been controversy over his transfer with Italian side Torino wanting the money now, rather than when his contract expires in late June and his switch to Leeds is formalised.
Italian outlet Toro News reported at the weekend how Torino have complained to FIFA to arbitrate the dispute, although the defender’s transfer is not believed to be under threat.
