Leeds United loanee delighted the Whites have signed Hernandez.
Pontus Jansson has congratulated Pablo Hernandez on signing a permanent contract at Leeds United.
Hernandez’s deal was confirmed by the club’s official website at midday on Monday, officially becoming a Leeds player.

The former Swansea playmaker had been on a half season loan from Qatari club Al Arabi but this had recently expired.
Jansson offered his best wishes to the Spaniard, whose deal runs until the end of the season with an option to extend by a further 12 months.
Hernandez was rested entirely from the FA Cup tie against Cambridge United, which Leeds won 2-1.
Jansson is on loan from Torino and started the game, edging one step closer to his permanent deal, playing his 21st game for the club. He needs 22 for Leeds to activate his option.

The decision somewhat backfired however, with Jansson picking up a booking which rules him out of this Friday’s Championship clash at home to Derby County.
The positive at least is that Hernandez will be available, while Jansson appears as committed as ever to the Leeds cause. His deal is only a matter of time.
