Pontus Jansson is an important player for Leeds United.
The West Yorkshire outfit are one of the biggest clubs in England, but they have not featured in the Premier League since 2004.
The Whites came close to finishing in the top six of the Championship last season and are aiming to clinch a playoff spot in 2017-18.
Leeds centre-back Jansson has shared his love for the Whites as well as for Malmo, and has suggested that he will get a tattoo if the team return to the Premier League.
Jansson told The Express: This club is so huge, it has to be in the Premier League. I remember 15 years ago when they were in the Champions League.
“I always said I only have one team in my heart and that is Malmo, who I supported as a boy, but now I have Leeds. They are not in my heart yet, but maybe in the future. And maybe I’ll get a Leeds tattoo if we go up.”
Jansson joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Torino in the summer of 2016 and made the move permanent in the summer of 2017 for a fee reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post to be worth £3.5 million.
The Sweden international is one of the best centre-backs in the Championship and is a key figure in the current Whites’ squad.
