# Jansson reportedly keen on Premier League switch amid West Ham links

According to [reports from Sweden](https://24malmo.se/2018/04/11/pl-intresse-for-pontus-jansson/), Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson wants to play his football in the Premier League next season, amid links with West Ham.

The powerful central defender is a key part of the Leeds team but it seems he has his eyes firmly set on a move to the English top flight, if reports from his homeland are to be believed.

It’s been reported recently by the Guardian’s Ed Aarons that Jansson is a target for West Ham in the summer, with David Moyes’ side lacking depth in central defence.

Jose Fonte’s departure in January has left a void to fill for the Hammers in the summer, with their defensive weaknesses having been well documented throughout the course of the campaign.

Jansson has often been linked with a move to the Premier League and with West Ham apparently keen, it seems his future at Elland Road is somewhat uncertain ahead of the summer.
