Three potential replacements for Pontus Jansson at Leeds United

The future of Sweden and Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson is a bit up in the air at the moment, following his comments to the Swedish media, hinting that he potentially sees his future away from Elland Road.

Jansson is expected to sit down after the World Cup to discuss his future, but Leeds United fans are starting to accept that the Swede may be moving on from the club.

If he does go, it is important that Leeds secure a solid replacement for him as they look to improve on last season’s 13th place finish in the Sky Bet Championship.

We take a look at three potential replacements for the Swedish defender if he does leave Elland Road this summer:
1) Ryan Tafazolli – Peterborough United:

Ryan Tafazolli is currently the first choice central defender for Sky Bet League One side Leeds United, and has come on leaps and bound since joining the club from Mansfield two seasons ago. He is exceptional in the air, and has the ability to play out from the defence with ease.

2) Robert Huth – Leicester City:

Three time Premier League winner Robert Huth looks set to leave Leicester City this summer when his contract expires at the end of this month, and he is expected to drop down a league and play in the Sky Bet Championship. He boasts a wealth of experience, and would be an excellent signing for Leeds United if they can afford his wages.

3) Kyle Bartley – Swansea City:

Kyle Bartley to Leeds United is perhaps the worst kept secret in football. The Swansea defender has been linked with a move to Elland Road for a number of months now. Whites supporters know all about Bartley after his loan spell at the club in the 2016/17 season, and they would welcome him back with open arms.
