What happened. Everton and Crystal Palace are in talks about a swap deal that would see Dwight McNeil join the Eagles and Brennan Johnson move to Everton.

• McNeil nearly moved to Palace in February on a loan-to-buy deal, but it fell through.
• Johnson joined Palace in a £35m deal in January and scored in the Europa League final.
• McNeil's partner criticized Palace on Instagram over the failed transfer.

“To have something promised to you, to have been dragged along on an emotional rollercoaster and to be toyed with until the final minute.”

The swap deal is in talks, with Johnson now involved, potentially reviving the earlier move.
