Pontus Jansson is a hugely popular figure among Leeds United fans.
Speaking on LUTV, Tony Dorigo has hailed the improvement of Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson.
The 27-year-old has been immense for Leeds this season and was particulalry impressive in the 1-1 draw with Brentford, prior to the international break.
Jansson, who represented Sweden at the World Cup, had a brilliant first season at Elland Road under Garry Monk, before joining on a permanent basis from Torino for £3.6 million [The Express].
But he, like so many United players, struggled last season and particularly after Paul Heckingbottom took the reins in February.
That being said, Jansson looks back to his best this time around, and former Leeds star Dorigo is delighted with the resurgence.
He told LUTV: “That [Brentford at home] is the best game I’ve seen him for a long time because I keep measuring him at a certain standard. I know what he can do.
“I think he’s that good, but when he drops below I think ‘Alright, you can be better than that’ but he has shown how good he is in the last few games.”
Jansson started Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Blackburn as Marcelo Bielsa’s side missed the chance to move top of the Championship.
But it has been a whirlwind time of it for the former Malmo star recently, given his charge from the Football Association for comments about referee Jeremy Simpson, and the birth of his child today.
It remains to be seen whether he is available for Wednesday’s visit of Ipswich Town.
