First Stoke City transfer of new era wins international call-up
Congratulations to Viktor Johansson, the new Stoke City goalkeeper, who has been named in the latest Sweden squad. The 25-year-old recently transferred from Rotherham United to the bet365 Stadium after head coach Steven Schumacher and new sporting director Jon Walters activated a relegation release clause, reportedly around £1 million.
Johansson earned his first senior international cap in October, coming on at halftime against Moldova. He has now been called up for friendlies against Denmark and Serbia. This continues a significant period for him personally, as his partner is also expecting their first child. Johansson hopes that his move to Stoke will bolster his international prospects.
Additionally, Johansson’s new Stoke teammate, Jordan Thompson, has been named in the Northern Ireland squad for their matches against Spain and Andorra.

Stoke City eyeing up Rotherham United transfer raid amid £1m release clause
Viktor Johansson, the Swedish goalkeeper, has been a standout performer for Rotherham United amid a challenging Championship season, which has seen them languishing at the bottom of the table and already relegated to League One. Johansson joined Rotherham as a free agent in September 2020, signing a two-year contract after his stint with Leicester City. Despite not making any appearances for Leicester’s senior team, he featured prominently for their under-21’s side in various competitions. Making his debut for Rotherham in a 2-1 victory against Preston North End in 2020, Johansson swiftly established himself as the primary goalkeeper, accumulating over 140 appearances for the club. During his tenure, he has garnered numerous individual awards, including Young Player of the Season and Player of the Year accolades. Moreover, Johansson played a pivotal role in Rotherham’s triumph in the 2021/22 EFL Trophy, orchestrating victories in penalty shootouts on the path to clinching the trophy at Wembley Stadium. With Rotherham’s relegation confirmed, speculation surrounding Johansson’s departure has intensified, with Sheffield United among the clubs reportedly interested in acquiring his services.
