Encyclopedic overview
Pontus Sven Gustav Jansson ( Swedish pronunciation: [ˈpɔ̌nːtɵs ˈjɑ̌ːnsɔn]; born 13 February 1991) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Malmö FF.
Jansson started his career with local club Malmö FF before moving to Italy to join Torino. He failed to impress at the Turin-based club and was sent out on loan to Leeds United, before making the move permanent. After three years in Leeds, he signed for fellow Championship side Brentford in 2019, becoming captain shortly after. After two seasons in the Premier League with Brentford between 2021 and 2023, Jansson returned to Malmö FF.
