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.
