5 players Burnley might sign in the January transfer window

#2 Pontus Jansson (Leeds United)

Jansson for Leeds United

Leeds United and Swedish central defender, Pontus Jansson has been on the radar of a few PL clubs before the start of the season. The player began his career in 2009 at Malmo for five years, before spending the next three seasons at Italian club Torino.

Jansson then moved to England and joined Leeds on loan in 2016 and made the deal permanent a year later.

As Leeds sit in 8th spot on the table, a place and two points off the playoff spots, Jansson will have a tricky decision to make if Burnley decided to make an offer.

The Swedish central defender could be tempted by a move to the PL and compete with the likes of Tarkowski, Mee and Kevin Long for a starting position.

Sean Dyche claimed he would buy a defender to replace Keane only if the player met the club's requirements. The Swede has been in decent form, putting in good displays and could be a possible PL player in January.

With a number of niggling injuries and departures at the club, Dyche will be aware that a new crop of signings would bode well for the club and liven up the competition for places amongst players.
