Championship rumour mill: Pontus Jansson wants Leeds United talks

Has transfer silly season arrived already? Well, it appears so... we round up the latest transfer rumours from the Championship and beyond. Here's the latest from the tabloids and around the web:

Pontus Jansson wants Elland Road discussions

The 27-year-old Leeds United defender has claimed he wants to "see what's happening" at Elland Road next season, report Swedish newspaper Expressen.

The national newspaper in his homeland revealed that Jansson was thriving with the Whites in the Championship, but the defender wanted to see what is planned for next season after a disappointing campaign.

"We'll see what's happening, I want to hear from the club how to look next year and so on,” he reportedly said.

Jansson put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Elland Road last October and is currently away on international duty with Sweden as they make their final preparations for this summer's World Cup in Russia.
