Leeds loan star Pontus Jansson has been too successful!

According to a report in talkSPORT the defender is being watched by Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Southampton.

Jansson is on a season long loan from Torino that is expected to become permanent at the end of the season for £2.5m.

Unfortunately for Leeds it looks like the Swede could then be sold on with no shortage of clubs willing to pay £10m to snap up Jansson.

The 26 year old has been a big part of Leeds’ play-off push but unless Garry Monk’s side can win promotion it’s unlikely that he’ll be around next season.

Southampton have watched Jansson closely since his Malmo days and are looking for a defender to fill the gap expected to be created by the departure of Virgil van Dijk with Jansson having the character and ability to handle the step up to a far higher level of football.
