Sheffield United are closing on a deal for Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson.

The Sun says he will leave Leeds United after reportedly being banned from the training ground.

Reports in Sweden claim the Whites skipper has had a huge row with manager Marcelo Bielsa and has been told to stay away from Thorp Arch.

Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United are close to getting the centre-back, with Fulham also said to be interested, reports Aftonbladet.

There are no details on the nature of the dispute, with the only information that Jansson, 28, has been told to stay away from the training ground until July 12.
