Johansson: Keen on Wigan move
Johansson, 26, is a player who would play behind a front two, in a similar position to that which Robbie Blake would have occupied.

Djurgardens have confirmed the offer from Wigan but acknowledge it is currently below their £1 million valuation. The initial bid is rumoured to be around £500,000.

Djurgardens chairman Bo Lundquist told the club's official website: "The offer is not what we were expecting financially but it is still a serious offer which we will sit down and review. We expect to be able to give Wigan an answer within a couple of days."

Johansson admitted that he does not know much about Wigan, but would love the chance to play in England, especially in the Premeirship.

He said: "I am really interested. I have now got to hope the two clubs can reach an agreement. I have never seen Wigan play. But I know that they are one of the top clubs in the next highest division in England and are aiming to get promoted to the Premier League this spring."
