Leeds United have been given a boost to sign Torino defender Pontus Jansson after the Serie A side landed a replacement for the Swede. Jansson looks surplus to requirements at Torino, and a move to Leeds United is now looking more likely.
TMW have today reported Torino have signed Brazilian defender Leandro Castan from fellow Serie A side AS Roma. The 29-year-old only joined Sampdoria a month ago on loan, but has now met up with his new teammates at Torino in a bizarre turn of events.
Jansson was seen on Tuesday night in the stands during Leeds United’s clash with Fulham, with claims the Championship side want to take the 25-year-old on loan for the season.
Despite Kamil Glik recently leaving Torino for Monaco, Jansson still looks to have no future with the Turin club, and a transfer to Leeds United looks close.
