Wales international winger/attacking midfielder at Crystal Palace
Everton has confirmed Johnson has signed a four-year contract while McNeil is set to move in the opposite direction to Crystal Palace. The clubs are finalising terms and medicals are expected imminently. The deals come after McNeil’s failed bid for a move in February and follow Palace’s recent signings to bolster the squad.
Crystal Palace is pursuing Takehiro Tomiyasu on a permanent deal while eyeing Real Salt Lake winger Zavier Gozo as part of a busy transfer window. The club is balancing wages with UEFA’s SCR rules as it looks to reinforce a Europa League squad under new manager Pierre Sage.
