When medicals will begin as Everton find agreement for Brennan Johnson swap transfer
Everton and Crystal Palace have reached an agreement to swap Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson.
The two wingers will go in opposite directions, as they look for better fortunes in the Premier League.
With the Englishman struggling for game time at the Toffees, it isn't surprising to see him leave this summer.
The agreement at the Hill Dickinson Stadium will be finalised once McNeil and Johnson complete their medicals.
In the winter transfer window, the ex-Burnley ace was close to joining the Eagles, but a deal fell through in the final hours.
As for the former Tottenham Hotspur winger, he moved to Selhurst Park for £35million in January but is set to leave after just seven months.
Latest Everton transfer news on Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil swap deal
Everything is done between the Toffees and Palace over McNeil and Johnson's swap deal.
Fabrizio Romano has given his "here we go" on it as the Wales international is on his way to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
According to Romano on 10 August, McNeil and Johnson's medicals will start today.
David Moyes will be getting an exciting forward in the 25-year-old, while the Englishman arguably needed a change of scenery after his struggles in L3.
Who David Moyes needs next after Brennan Johnson transfer
With Johnson set to arrive at Everton, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the likes of Tyler Dibling.
Apart from further departures following McNeil's imminent exit, there's still plenty of work to be done on incoming signings.
The Toffees still haven't found a new right-back and can't go into the next season with Jake O'Brien playing out of position once again.
With the midfield reinforced after signing Hayden Hackney and Christian Norgaard, focus arguably needs to shift to signing Jack Grealish from Manchester City.
Moyes also needs to be certain about Thierno Barry and Beto being his two options in the number nine position.
A reliable goalscorer could certainly take the Merseyside outfit to the next level, but it remains to be seen whether The Friedkin Group are willing to make a significant investment.
