English winger at Everton, now linked with a Crystal Palace swap
Everton has signed Wales winger Johnson on a four-year deal while McNeil moves in the opposite direction to Crystal Palace. The swap follows failed paperwork in a February deal and heightened scrutiny over club transfers. Johnson aims to restore form at Everton; McNeil’s move finalises Palace’s latest recruitment.
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.
