What Pontus Jansson's Leeds United teammates have said about him leaving the club

Pontus Jansson has brought the curtain down on his Leeds United career following his move to Brentford - and several of the Whites squad have been paying tribute to the man with the 'Magic Hat'.

The Sweden international , who joined the club two years ago permanently following a successful loan spell, has joined the Bees on a three-year deal for a fee reported to be around £5.5m, following the suggested breakdown of his relationship with Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road.
