Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has signed a new five-year deal with the club.
The new contract keeps the Sweden international, who made his loan move from Torino permanent at the end of last season, until at least the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
"I am really happy, this has been my second home since day one," Jansson told the club website
"When I first came here everybody was good with me and helped me in a good way.
"Me and my family love it here, everyone has been so nice to us and I hope to stay here and make people happy.
"Leeds have been fantastic since day one and when I play good on the pitch I get the love from the fans and I am really pleased to be staying here.
"The supporters, club and team-mates are all really good to me and I hope I can give something back now.
"Leeds are a club that belongs in the Premier League and since day one I have said I wanted to play in the Premier League with Leeds, we are now getting closer and closer and we are on our way to something good.
"There have been a lot of contract extensions and new signings who have come into the team, we have all helped each other in a good way and we have started the season well."
Leeds are currently fourth in the Championship, six points behind leaders Wolves. They face Sheffield United on Friday, live on Sky Sports Football.
