Obviously take this with as much credence as you give the Sun https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9426363/leeds-pontus-jansson-sheff-united-bielsa-row/
Hearing that Solomon Rondon to West Ham for cash plus Byram which means the lad will be back in the Championship
I read it & had to leave a comment (I'm Unbelievably Exasperated, btw ). They commented that Bielsa had reportedly told THE CAPTAIN to stay away from Elland Road. Pillocks.
Maybe. But no clarification or comment to 'rubbish' the story from either club or player. And, as Ell i think pointed out, if he was on holiday after the internationals why train at Malmo? Why isn't he sitting on a beach somewhere?
I agree. I'm right in there with the conspiracy theorists .... https://leeds.vitalfootball.co.uk/a...t-loads-of-fans-react-clearly-deluded-behave/
Maybe he was on the beach and is now preferring to stay near family and home until he is required back. In the meantime, he is training with his hometown club, of which he is a fan, so he can show up ready to hit the ground sprinting? I think journos are trying to create a story, but we will find out soon, I expect.
You know what? I will tell you a little secret……………….……hyyyyyssssssj, don’t tell any one I said it… Come, over here……………………..………..Pontus trained with Malmo last summer too……….quiet, quiet…….someone can here it…………………..phu that was a close one, someone almost heard it.

All the traveling has made him get spacesickness and he is now undergoing treatment for it by the men I black
So,we have signed a class player, sold clarke but back on loan, Dumped a few off the books, still have the best players from last year, And potential interest from some not skint arabs. First week of July could have been worse. MOT
Conundrum our club. Some are saying definite takeover by QSI because we’re committed to a £15 million buy of Costa and others saying no takeover because we’ve had to sell Clarke to balance the books / raise money for signings.
