According to reports from Swedish newspaper Expressen, Leeds United striker Marcus Antonsson is close to joining Malmo.

The Swedish club is now managed by former Leeds boss Uwe Rosler and he is keen to sign the 27-year-old who has been on Leeds’ radar since 2016.

Antonsson joined the Whites in 2016 from Kalmar FF and made 21 appearances in his first season at the Yorkshire club, scoring three goals.

He was sent on loan to Blackburn Rovers last season, where he scored eight goals in 21 appearances.
