5 Championship Stars that Premier League clubs should be looking to sign this summer

#4 Pontus Jansson

Leeds United v Swansea City - Sky Bet Championship

The popular Leeds United centre back is someone who is likely going to be high on many Premier League teams radars this summer after an incredibly impressive campaign.

Even though Pontus Jansson missed out on promotion with Leeds United through the play-offs, the door to the top flight will certainly be open should he want to take it. After earning a spot in the Championship Team Of The Year this season, Jansson has shown why he is one of the top defenders in the English game.

As a staple for the Sweden national side, Jansson has had plenty of opportunities to work against some of the world's elite and is more than ready to take on the Premier League. He is one of the first names on the team sheet for Leeds United and it won't be easy for a team to land him, but should a club tempt him away they would gain a fantastic defender.

Even though Bournemouth are one of the Premier League's most exciting teams, packed with impressive talents such as Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser, the squad struggled defensively at times.

Bournemouth put in the second least tackles as a squad last season, only managing 526, with the club leaking in 70 goals throughout the campaign. Only two teams conceded more goals during the season than Bournemouth, so finding someone to fix the cracks could be vital.

It was reported by The Express that Jansson and Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa do not get along. Considering the fact that Leeds failed to get promoted last season, if the opportunity arises, a move might be best for everyone involved.
