“Welcome Pontus” – These Brentford fans can’t believe their club have managed to pull off the signing of Pontus Jansson from Leeds.
Brentford, on Monday evening, confirmed they had signed Pontus Jansson from Leeds for an undisclosed fee and that the Swedish international, who has 20 caps, has signed a three-year deal.
The Bees have arguably pulled off one of the coups of the transfer window, and they moved very quickly to bring him to Griffin Park – after Jansson’s relationship with Marcelo Bielsa broke down.
Jansson made 120 appearances for Leeds in a three-year stay at Elland Road and became a cult hero.
The 28-year-old had a genuine connection with a lot of Leeds fans and will be missed by them, but Brentford are getting a committed, hard-tackling, no-nonsense defender and he could significantly improve their defence.
Certainly, these Bees fans are buzzing with the signing.

Name a bigger #BrentfordFC signing (at the time and not with hindsight) than this. I can’t remember one. #COYB ????
