Toffees' winger Dwight McNeil, 26, nearly moved to Selhurst Park at the start of February when Palace agreed a loan-to-buy deal, which would have turned into a £20m permanent move this summer.

However, the transfer fell through as the required paperwork could not be completed in time, even though McNeil had already passed a medical.

In a social media post, his partner Megan Sharpley had been critical of Palace, writing on Instagram: "We live in a world where everyone is aware of how big a problem mental health is.

"So, in football, why do we find it acceptable because these young men are on a lot of money and that's OK to mess and toy with their mental health and that it's just part of the job?

"To have something promised to you, to have been dragged along on an emotional rollercoaster and to be toyed with until the final minute. For that to be torn away from you at the last second with absolutely no explanation has hurt more than I can say."

But the deal has been revived, with Brennan Johnson now involved in the exchange.

Crystal Palace and Everton have agreed a swap deal for Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil.

Both attackers are expected to undergo medicals on Monday ahead of completing the their respective moves.

It is understood the wingers will sign initial four year contracts at their new clubs.

BBC Sport reported yesterday that talks over the mooted exchange was ongoing amid hope it could be completed this week.

The Premier League is just 11 days away which means there's only three weeks until the end of the summer transfer window.
