Features briefly off bench Johnson recorded no stats in Monday's 1-0 win against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 99th minute.

Returns to starting lineup Johnson recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Johnson returned to Everton's starting lineup on the right wing after beginning the previous Premier League encounter against Chelsea on the bench. The winger struggled to make a significant attacking impact against Arsenal, managing just one shot and one cross before being replaced by Tyler Dibling in the 72nd minute. He has yet to register a goal or assist in the Premier League this season, with his limited end product remaining a concern despite his opportunities in the attacking lineup. Johnson will look to improve his contributions in the final third as he competes for regular starts on the right flank.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Provides creativity for Wales Johnson created four chances while playing 83 minutes in Wales' 2-0 Nations League loss to Denmark, making his second consecutive start in the UEFA Nations League.

Impact Johnson was one of Wales' more active attacking outlets, nearly setting up Connor Roberts after driving into the box and finding him with a pull-back. The winger has also started Everton's last three Premier League matches on the right wing, establishing himself in the starting XI despite recording no goal contributions through five appearances. He has created four chances while adding seven crosses, seven tackles and four shots over those league appearances.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Couldn't find the back of the net Johnson had two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town.

Impact Johnson took two shots, but was unable to find the back of the net. He had a brilliant chance early in the game assisted by Harrison Armstrong, but he put the chance wide. This was his third start in a row and he is still waiting on his first goal since joining Everton and this is the first start that he hasn't created a chance for the club. He pressed from the front winning all three of his tackles.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Five crosses Saturday Johnson had one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Johnson made his second straight start Saturday, this time taking on his former club. He had a solid outing as he created two chances in his second straight match and led the team with five crosses. He was active on the defensive end too, recording two tackles, one interception and one clearance before he was subbed off in the 75th minute.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

One tackle in late cameo Johnson had one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Johnson replaced Tyrique George in the 62nd minute and attempted one tackle without winning it across 28 minutes of action as Everton searched for a way back into the match following Alex Scott's opener. He flashed some directness down the right flank but was unable to carve out a clear-cut chance during his limited run on the pitch. Johnson has now featured off the bench in each of Everton's opening two Premier League matches, with his first start of the campaign potentially on the horizon as manager David Moyes continues to weigh his options.

Everton sign Johnson from Palace in transfer swap for McNeil Less than a year on from joining Crystal Palace, Brennan Johnson has signed for Everton in a deal that sees Dwight McNeil go the other way.

AUGUST 11 • BEINSPORTS.COM

Signs with Everton Johnson has signed a four year deal with Everton from Crystal Palace, in a swap that sends Dwight McNeil to Selhurst Park, according to the club.

Impact Johnson finished as Nottingham Forest's top scorer with 18 goals and 10 assists in the Championship in 2022/23, playing every top flight match the following season with eight goals and three assists, before a 2023 move to Tottenham, where he scored the winner in the 2024/25 Europa League final and finished that campaign with 18 goals and seven assists across all competitions. He moved to Crystal Palace in January, where he added Conference League glory, and now brings that experience to Everton as a 25 year old Wales international capped 45 times, wearing the number 22 shirt as he begins the next chapter of his career.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles continue Johnson generated two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Johnson is in the middle of a rough spell as he continues to fail to score, with the forward recording two shots Sunday but neither hitting the target. That said, he still has yet to score a goal since the transfer, with only an assist to his name in 15 appearances. He will want to get on the scoresheet before the end of the season, or else his transfer could be viewed as a flop.

Whips in six crosses Johnson registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54...

Impact Johnson was back in the starting XI after getting some rest from the bench in FA Cup play, notching 80 minutes of play. He would lead the team and match in crosses in his time on the field, recording six. He is now up to 51 between his time at Palace and Tottenham this season.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in loss Johnson assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Johnson provided one assist for his new club during Sunday's loss, but it wasn't enough to earn a point against a red-hot Manchester United. Johnson is a tricky winger with solid end product, and he should shine in a large role with Palace, even against top opponents. Johnson also took a corner Sunday, a nice sign for a potentially safer floor.

Transfers to Crystal Palace Johnson has completed a transfer to Crystal Palace from Tottenham, according to his former club.

Impact Johnson has ended his time with Tottenham and is on the move as the winter transfer window opens, staying in the Premier League and joining Crystal Palace. He has dropped out of a role this season after 14 goal contributions and 24 starts last campaign, including the goal that secured the club's first trophy, with only six starts in 16 appearances this season to go along with two goals. He is likely to be the hopeful replacement for Eberechi Eze after he departed for Arsenal to begin the season, potentially sending Yeremy Pino or Ismaila Sarr to the bench.

Option Sunday Johnson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Johnson has passed his testing and is with the team Sunday, with the forward earning a spot on the bench. He has only started in six of his 13 appearances this season and is likely to remain in a rotational role, notching two goals but still in search of his first assist.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Option to face Forest Johnson (undisclosed) is an option for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Thomas Frank. "I expect him to be available for Forest, he trained today."

Impact Johnson was dealing with a minor injury the past week but is back as an option after a game missed, fit to face Nottingham. He started in his last appearance but will probably return to a bench spot after the injury, only starting in six of his 13 appearances this campaign. He will need to ramp up his performances soon to catch last season's performance, with only two goals compared to the 11 goals and three assists he earned last campaign.
