Pair sign four-year deals after swapping clubs
‘This is a club that wants to go in the right direction’
Crystal Palace and Everton have agreed a straight swap for Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil – six months after McNeil’s partner accused Palace of messing with his mental health after pulling out of a deal.
McNeil and Johnson, who became Palace’s record signing when he joined in January from Tottenham for £35m, only to be surpassed by the arrival of Jørgen Strand Larsen from Wolves for an initial £43m a few weeks later, have agreed four-year contracts with the option of a further 12 months.
