Leeds United defender is a big video gamer.

Pontus Jansson of Leeds United celebrates after the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road on February 25, 2017 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United centre-back Pontus Jansson is renowned for his tough guy reputation on the pitch – but he is deadly online too.

The Swedish defender posted a video on Instagram displaying him celebrating wildly at reaching a milestone achievement on video game Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

Leeds fans often see Jansson animated on the pitch – but rarely this deliriously happy, as he is more intent on intimidating the opposition.

Jansson is a fan favourite at Leeds United after signing from Torino on a permanent deal earlier this year.

Pontus Jansson of Sweden celebrates after the victory during the FIFA 2018 World Cup Qualifier between Sweden and Belarus at Friends arena on March 25, 2017 in Solna, .

He is also hoping to go to the World Cup with Sweden, for who he is a vital squad player.

This weekend he will aim to be firing on all cylinder when Leeds take on Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road, a ground he is visiting for the first time with the club.
