Brentford captain Pontus Jansson has declared Christian Norgaard as their most important player.

Last season was the Dane's first in the Premier League.

Jansson told the club's website: "Christian Norgaard is our MVP. Both as a player and as a person. I always play with enthusiasm and emotion where he makes calmer decisions.

"When I doubt myself, I always go to Christian, because he makes me calm down. He helps me see things from a different perspective.

"Norgaard, Toney, Raya and I are the backbone of this team. With the players around me, I feel safe. They are fantastic football players, people and leaders."
