Everton and Palace complete McNeil-Johnson swap

Everton and Crystal Palace have completed the swap deal involving Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson.

The Toffees have confirmed 25-year-old Johnson has signed a four-year contract while McNeil will move in the opposite direction to Selhurst Park.

McNeil, 26, almost joined Palace in February, when the Eagles agreed a loan-to-buy deal that would have turned into a £20m permanent move this summer.

However, the transfer fell through despite McNeil having passed a medical because the required paperwork could not be completed in time.

It prompted his partner Megan Sharpley to accuse the Eagles of toying with his mental health via a social media post.

Wales winger Johnson - who scored Tottenham Hotspur's winning goal in their Europa League final victory over Manchester United in May 2025 - signed for Palace in a £35m deal in January.

The 25-year-old made 26 appearances for Palace in all competitions but failed to score during his time at Selhurst Park.
