Everton and Crystal Palace have reached an agreement for a player swap involving Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson. This type of transaction is uncommon in the Premier League but is allowed under specific regulations. Each player's transfer will be treated separately for financial assessments.

The swap must comply with the Premier League's financial regulations, including the squad cost ratio and fair market value checks. External valuation firms will evaluate the players' worth to ensure the deal aligns with market standards, with the Premier League making the final decision.
