Swansea wrapping up deal for Exeter youngster Matty Grimes

Swansea City are wrapping up a deal for Exeter City midfielder Matty Grimes.

The Daily Mail says Grimes is poised to undergo a medical with Swansea on Wednesday after the clubs agreed a £1.75million transfer fee.

Swansea moved quickly to head off interest from other Premier League clubs who were holding off bids until the summer.

Everton, Liverpool and Sunderland had also checked on the 19-year-old who is set to sign a four-and-a-half year deal at the Liberty Stadium.

Exeter had hoped to sell Grimes and have him back on loan, but Swansea boss Garry Monk is keen to see if he can make a contribution to Swansea's first team.
