Everton sign Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace in swap deal for Dwight McNeil
Everton have signed winger Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace, with Dwight McNeil moving in the opposite direction to Selhurst Park as part of a swap arrangement. Both players are wide attacking threats, and the deal allows both clubs to refresh their forward lines without a direct cash exchange. The swap is a notable Premier League transaction that addresses squad needs for both Sean Dyche's Everton and Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace heading into the new campaign.
Read the full story at skysports.comSwap deals are relatively rare in the Premier League and typically signal wage/PSR considerations or squad-fit priorities for both clubs. For Everton, Johnson offers a more direct, goal-threatening winger profile, while losing McNeil reduces their creative depth. For Crystal Palace, McNeil provides a different wide option with strong crossing and ball-carrying qualities. The net tactical impact for each side depends on how quickly each player adapts to a new system, but both clubs gain a starting-caliber wide player.
