Leeds should consider selling Jansson

Leeds United could be having a summer transfer window that will define their future. This season they failed to keep up their pace and tumbled down from the top of the Championship just enough for them not to make a long-awaited return to the Premier League.

At least Marcelo Bielsa has announced that he will be staying at Elland Road for another season, but former Leeds manager Simon Grayson believes this team could cash in nicely on Pontus Jansson.

“There are other players I would want to keep ahead of Pontus Jansson,” Grayson told Omnisport. “People like Kalvin Phillips and Jack Clarke, the younger players who can be the bedrock of Leeds for the next few years.

“I think Jansson does well when he concentrates on what he is there to do, in terms of being a defender. Of course, they want to try and keep hold of them if possible, but players have been sold in the past to finance the next group of players.”
