Leeds United defender is staying put.

Leeds United centre-back Pontus Jansson appears determined to stay put at Elland Road.

Jansson has been subject of a transfer approach from Russian side Krasnodar, Swedish website Fotboll Skanalen reported.

The report claimed Jansson had no interest in moving to Russia, where he had just featured at the World Cup for Sweden.

Jansson has remained quiet on the reports until now, with the Yorkshire Evening Post reporting Leeds rejected an offer.

The defender is currently battling an injury and is uncertain to start at the weekend against Norwich.

Last night Jansson made a brief post on his Instagram page of himself wearing a Leeds shirt, with three hearts attached to it, showing his love for the shirt.

If Leeds fans were worried there may be something untoward in regards to the timing of his injury, and the transfer rumours, they need not be.

The centre-back is making an effort to show Leeds is his only focus, and considering their fantastic start to the season, it is a smart decision.
