The Leeds United hero is not fussing about off-field issues at Elland Road.

Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has commented about the recent allegations made against Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino, as part of the Telegraph’s investigation into corruption in football – in a fashion that Leeds fans are already becoming accustomed to from their central defender.
The newspaper which caught out the now departed England manager Sam Allardyce suggested a video they had of a meeting with the Leeds chairman showed the Italian suggesting ways of avoiding third party ownership roles.

Leeds United have vehemently denied the claims, making it clear that Cellino did nothing wrong in the video the Telegraph have published in an official statement released on the Leeds United website last week.
Speaking to Swedish website Fotbollskanalen he made his feelings clear on the allegations – he simply had no idea what they were.
Jansson stated:
“I have not read it so I have no idea what it is about.
“No, not actually. I have not even heard about it.”

The Swede has become an instant hit with the Leeds fans for his colourful character off the pitch – including some rather choice words he uses in his Twitter posts.
But the real reason Leeds fans currently love him is his form on the pitch. He has been brilliant since arriving from Torino on loan and has been integral to the club’s recent upturn in form.
Perhaps focusing on just the football at Leeds is the way forward if you want to succeed at Elland Road.
