Everton and Crystal Palace complete winger swap

In recent years, direct exchanges of football players between clubs have become a rare event in the transfer market, but England's Everton and Crystal Palace have decided to revive this tradition. Toffees winger Dwight McNeil will go to the location of the Glaziers, and Brennan Johnson will arrive in the opposite direction. McNeil, 26, has fallen out of Everton's starting XI for the past two seasons and managed just one assist in 25 appearances last campaign. Meanwhile, 25-year-old Johnson had two assists in 26 games in his first season with Peles. The clubs have agreed on a direct exchange without any additional fees, and the players are due to undergo a medical in the near future.
