Brentford defender Pontus Jansson has insisted he ‘200 per cent’ wants to win against his former Leeds United side on Sunday. Jansson spent three seasons at the Whites before a slightly frosty departure in 2019 when he made the switch down south to the Bees.
Pontus Jansson said: “For a few years, when people thought about Leeds, I was the player. Now they have Kalvin Phillips, he’s their cult hero, but back then I was that type of player for them. Leeds is my past, I will always respect them and I will always follow them, even if the way I left wasn’t the best. I still have many friends there. Leading up to this game, there will be a lot of questions about me and Leeds. I want to win this game, 200 per cent. I want to win no matter what. Of course, I’d prefer that they were already safe, but we want to win this game and finish as high as possible.”
