Everton and Crystal Palace are in talks over a possible player swap involving winger Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson, reports say. The proposed deal would see McNeil move to Crystal Palace while Johnson would join Everton.
The reports describe the negotiations as ongoing and linked to each club’s interest in the other player’s profile. BBC Sport characterizes the situation as the two clubs being “poised” for a swap, while Yahoo Sports cites a report from The Times and indicates Everton manager David Moyes is open to the idea of McNeil leaving. The articles present the same core mechanism—an exchange between McNeil and Johnson—while differing slightly in emphasis on how advanced the talks are and the extent of Moyes’s stance.
No final agreement is reported in the available summaries, and details such as timing, fees (if any), or contract terms are not specified.
