Everton and Crystal Palace confirm Dwight McNeil-Brennan 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.
