11/08/2026Photo from Everton FCBrennan Johnson has said the direction Everton are heading in convinced him to join the club. Johnson has completed his move to the Toffees from Crystal Palace, in a swap deal that sees Dwight McNeil move in the opposite direction to Selhurst Park. The Club speaks for itself – it's a massive club and one that when I first heard of the interest, I immediately wanted to come and be part of it," Johnson told evertonfc.com. You can see this is a club that wants to go in the right direction, and I'm a player who wants to go in that direction, too, so it feels like a really good match. I know that's something that's definitely appreciated and a non-negotiable here.
