Everton and Crystal Palace announced yesterday that they had completed a swap deal involving wingers Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil.

Wales international Johnson, who has signed a four-year contract at David Moyes' Everton, only joined Palace in January in a £35 million ($47 million) move from Tottenham.

The 25-year-old was an unused substitute in the London club's UEFA Conference League final success, 12 months after scoring Spurs' winning goal in their Europa League final victory.

"There were a lot of reasons why I was so keen to join -- the manager, the players, the direction the team is going in," Johnson told Everton TV.
