Brennan Johnson will undergo his medical at Everton today after an agreement was reached to sign the winger from Crystal Palace.
Everton have reached an agreement with Crystal Palace to sign Johnson as part of a swap deal that will see Dwight McNeil head in the opposite direction.
The deal is understood to be a straight swap, with Palace having held a long-standing interest in McNeil, who saw a January move to the Eagles collapse on deadline day.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that 'everything is done' between the two clubs, with the players set to have their respective medicals today.
Johnson is set to become Everton's fifth signing of the summer transfer window, following deal for Hayden Hackney, Christian Norgaard, and the permanent arrivals of Merlin Röhl and Tyrique George.
The 25-year-old will look to bounce back from a difficult half-season at Crystal Palace, who he joined for around £35m in January.
Everton will hope Johnson can recapture the form he showed at Tottenham Hotspur during the 2024/25 campaign, in which he scored 18 goals in 51 appearances across all competitions.
He scored 11 league goals in 33 appearances that season and ranked highly among Premier League wingers on several key metrics.
Per 90 minutes, the Wales international ranked second among his positional peers for expected goals, non-penalty expected goals, dribble success percentage, and duels won percentage. He also ranked fifth for goal conversion.
