Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil complete Everton-Crystal Palace swap

Premier League players Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil have completed a rare swap deal between Everton and Crystal Palace. Johnson has joined Everton on a four-year contract following an eight-month stint at Crystal Palace, while McNeil has moved to Selhurst Park.

The transfer sparked controversy after talkSPORT pundits Jamie O'Hara and Gabby Agbonlahor criticized the players' recent performances. During a broadcast, O'Hara described the exchange as, “It’s like, ‘We’ll give you cr*p, you give us cr*p back.’”

Johnson responded to the criticism on social media, stating, “Won more than both of these put together.” O'Hara later issued a clarification on X, claiming his comments were taken out of context and that he was specifically referring to the players' statistical output from the previous season rather than their overall ability.
