“This club is much more professional than last year with the new owner being in charge,” Jansson told The Yorkshire Evening Post. “Even the food is better, which seems like a small thing but is important to us as players.

“I have only good things to say about Andrea (Radrizzani) – he has done a lot to improve this club.”

Leeds are third in the Championship table at the moment with 20 points from 10 matches, three points behind leaders Cardiff City and a point behind second-placed Sheffield United.
