Star expresses his admiration for Leeds United’s new signings

Leeds United star Pontus Jansson has revealed that he admires his club’s new signings Matthew Pennington and Ezgjan Alioski.

Alioski joined the Yorkshire club from Lugano while Pennington arrived on a season long loan deal from Everton.

The Swedish international Jansson feels that both players will be a benefit to his club next season and admires Alioski especially as he speaks Italian fluently.

Jansson spoke highly of his new team-mates and said of Alioski, “Alioski, yeah he is good. I like him. He talks Italian so I’ll take him under my wing and help him into the team. He’s a good guy also.”

Of Pennington he added, “He is good. I haven’t seen him so much before and he was good against Gladbach. I think he’ll be good for us.”

Should the Whites fail to bring in a new central defender this summer, Pennington will be likely to feature regularly next term and partner Liam Cooper or Jansson in central defence.
