Jansson has admitted that manager Gary Monk’s presence was a factor in his decision to commit to  Leeds, he said, “Yes [I knew that I wanted to be at this club for many years], actually from the first day.

“I had a good feeling when I came here. Garry [Monk] remembered me from when he was at Swansea and I was at Malmo and we played against them.”
