After a debut against Rotherham last season, the attacking midfielder struggled to find his niche within the Wigan squad.
However, a series of imposing performances in the Carling Cup - with one particularly good game against Newcastle - have seen the Swede feature more in the Premiership of recent.
Johansson is now catching striker Henri Camara in the goals table and his performances on the pitch have given hope to the Latics faithful.
Johansson said: "It was very frustrating not playing, but that's football. I knew about the competition when I arrived, but I've never doubted myself because I know what I can do on the pitch.
"I knew if I worked hard in training and did well in the reserves then sooner or later I would be given a chance. Then it would be up to me to take it. Now I've been given that chance I feel I'm showing what I can do. I know I'm playing my best football since I joined Wigan.
"In most of the games I've played I have felt good, and I feel my game has improved. I've scored seven goals - four in the Premier League and three in the cups - and I'm happy with that."
