Pontus Jansson reacts as Leeds post Gjanni Alioski video on Twitter

Leeds United’s ‘Gjannicam’ uploads have provided the Elland Road faithful with some much-needed relief ahead of each of their vital Championship fixtures in recent times.

The videos – starring Gjanni Alioski – often shed light on the bizarre antics of the North Macedonia international as he enters each stadium or heads out onto the pitch before every game.

And ahead of Leeds’s clash with Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, Alioski was perhaps at the centre of the most bizarre instalment of Gjannicam yet.

His exit from the dressing room is marked by the war cry: ‘We are Leeds’. And he then makes sure that no fan feels short-changed by the video when he walks out on the pitch, dancing up towards the camera before moving on.

The video did not escape the attention of former teammate Pontus Jansson. The Brentford captain took to social media after Saturday’s games to comment on Alioski’s behaviour.

Here is Jansson’s superb response to the latest edition of Gjannicam…

Alioski has been excellent for Leeds since the resumption of the season.

The wide-man produced the assist for Stuart Dallas’s equaliser against Luton Town in midweek.

And of course, it was his goal that settled plenty of nerves during the 3-0 win over Fulham.

It is Jansson’s Brentford who continue to apply the pressure on Leeds. But Marcelo Bielsa’s side remain in the driving seat with five games remaining.
