Leeds United loanee Pontus Jansson has been outstanding ever since he signed for the club and looks like one of the best acquisitions of the summer.

The Torino defender appears at home at Leeds, and he has been winning plaudits for his impressive form, and no nonsense attitude.

His on and off pitch persona has brought praise from fan and businessman Steve Tappin, who took to Twitter to hail the Swedish centre-back.

Tappin has links to several Chinese companies and is on record via the Yorkshire Evening Post earlier this year stating his intention is to help promote the club to multi-millionaires in the Asian country who could be interested in a potential takeover of the club, stating at the time there was ‘definite interest’.

Leeds are up to ninth place after a 1-0 win over Burton Albion at Elland Road at the weekend, and their good form will only make them a more attractive proposition to potential buyers.

The Whites are just one point away from a play-off place, an impressive feat after their slow start to the season, and there is little doubting that Jansson has been key to the turnaround in their form.
