Everton and Crystal Palace complete McNeil-Johnson swap deal
Everton and Crystal Palace have completed a swap deal exchanging Dwight McNeil and a player surnamed Johnson. McNeil, a winger who had been a key creative outlet for Everton, moves to Selhurst Park, while Johnson heads in the opposite direction to Goodison Park.

Johnson's move to Everton will be assessed on his positional fit and impact on their defensive or transitional play.
