Crystal Palace and Everton Working on Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson Swap
The clubs are weighing a deal that would send Dwight McNeil to Palace and Brennan Johnson to Everton after Johnson failed to score in 26 appearances.
- Crystal Palace and Everton are in active discussions over a player swap involving winger Dwight McNeil moving to Selhurst Park while Brennan Johnson heads to Goodison Park.
- McNeil, 26, nearly moved to Selhurst Park in February when Palace agreed a loan-to-buy deal worth £20m, but the transfer collapsed as required paperwork could not be completed despite the winger passing a medical.
- Johnson joined the Eagles in January for a club-record £35m, while McNeil arrived at Everton from Burnley for £20m in July 2022, scoring 15 times in 128 games.
- Megan Sharpley, McNeil's partner, criticized Palace on Instagram after the failed move, questioning why football clubs accept "mess and toy with their mental health" despite players' high salaries.
- Both clubs meet at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, 22 August for the opening weekend of the Premier League campaign, with negotiations expected to conclude before the match.
