Exeter midfielder Matty Grimes set for bank-busting Swansea move

Exeter City midfielder Matty Grimes is set for a dream move to the Premier League.

The Daily Mail reports Swansea have lined up a £1.75million deal to sign Exeter's midfield starlet Matt Grimes in the January transfer window.

The move will catapult the 19-year-old midfielder from his current £500 a week pay packet to earn £10,000 a week with the Premier League club - which would work out as a 1,900 per cent increase in his wages.

Grimes, who has played three times for England's Under 20 team, has also been watched by Liverpool and Sunderland.
