Player Profile
Johansson was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and started his career in Finland's Veikkausliiga in 1995 for his hometown club TPS Turku. He went on to score six goals in 32 league appearances in his first season and was chosen to play in the Finland Under-21 team. In 1997 he transferred to FC Flora Tallinn, becoming the first Finnish player to move to Estonia. During this time he broke into the senior Finland team - his blond, curly locks earned him the nickname 'Tintti' (Tintin) with national team supporters - scoring his first goal in a 1-0 win over Kuwait.
He subsequently made a move to Scotland to join Scottish club Rangers FC for £500,000 the same year but found it difficult to get into manager Walter Smith's side. A change of boss, with Dutchman Dick Advocaat coming in, gave him more chances and he responded by scoring 17 goals in the 1998–1999 season, including eight in the Scottish Premier League and five in the UEFA Cup, and a further seven the following term, taking his overall tally to 24 in just 37 starts, plus 38 substitute appearances.
Johansson signed for English Premiership club Charlton in the summer of 2000 as Alan Curbishley sought to strengthen his forward-line for the club's return to the Premiership. Charlton paid UK£3.25 million for the striker with a further £250,000 owed if Johansson makes 25 appearances and Charlton avoid relegation. Johansson scored 14 goals in his first season for Charlton even with an injury in the end of the season. He was never able to repeat this form in later seasons, and subsequently had to settle for role as a squad player. Johansson moved to Norwich on loan for the rest of the season in the January 2006 transfer window wanting more chances for first team football. He has started his tenure at Norwich promisingly, netting against Ipswich, Derby and Stoke.
Johansson made his debut for the Finnish national team on March 16 1996 against Kuwait. He is a regular member of the Finland squad.
