The move means that 25-year-old Johnson will depart Selhurst Park after just half a season with the Eagles in which he featured 26 times in the second half of the 2025/26 campaign.

Meanwhile, McNeil will be leaving Everton after four seasons with the club. The 26-year-old forward joined from Burnley in the summer of 2022 and featured 128 times for the Merseyside club, scoring 14 goals and making 17 assists.
