League Cup triumph
Johansen began his career at Strasbourg but left for Marseille in 2002. After two mixed seasons, the former French Under-21 international returned to his original club on loan and helped Strasbourg to the French League Cup triumph that took them into Europe.
'Same vision'
"Strasbourg are the team of my heart," the 26-year-old said after agreeing a three-year deal. "I feel relieved to have signed because the club and I share the same vision." Their UEFA Cup campaign begins in the first round on 15 September.
