Brentford boss Thomas Frank is delighted with Pontus Jansson's new deal.
The former Leeds centre-back has been an ever-present for the Bees in the Premier League this season and agreed a new deal until the summer of 2023 on Friday.
Frank said: “I'm very pleased and I think Pontus has been a vital part of our rise in the last three years.
“The aim from the club and from Pontus was to extend the contract. All of us were promoted to the best league in the world and we have big ambitions and believe in the team and players but you never know when you step up to that level.
“Some will maybe crazy surprise you and make you go, 'wow, are they even that good at the highest level?' And some could maybe disappoint you.
“We wanted to see everyone, that was the plan, and Pontus earned definitely a well-deserved extension of his contract. He did so well for us in the Championship and has done well in the Premier League. He is a big part of the culture and leadership pushing us over the years."
