LEEDS UNITED HAVE sold defender Pontus Jansson to Brentford for a reported £5.5million.
The Sweden centre-back was a key player for Leeds last season, making 39 Championship appearances.
But he reportedly fell out with head coach Marcelo Bielsa, who has subsequently allowed him to leave, with Jansson signing a three-year deal with the option of an extra year with the Bees.
Jansson disobeyed Bielsa’s order to allow Aston Villa to walk the ball in during a fiery Championship clash in April.
Bielsa has agreed to stay at Elland Road for a second season despite Leeds’ loss to Derby County in the play-off semi-finals.
Jack Clarke has been sold to Tottenham, but the winger will stay at Leeds on loan during the 2019-20 season.
