Newcastle, Swansea target Grimes returns for Swansea preseason

Matt Grimes has joined Swansea City for preseason training.

Grimes is back in training for Swansea amid reported interest from Newcastle and Southampton.

He told the club's website: "It's great to get back and be amongst the lads and get going again. Obviously, it was nice to have a break after what happened at the end of last season, re-charge the batteries and switch off for a bit.

“We are a tight group of lads and if you are in and around each other every day then you build relationships like we do and some of us have seen each other over the summer anyway but it's now nice to be back as a group.

“Of course you're not going to come back as fit or as strong as you were at the end of last season but the tests are there to ensure no one has any knocks or niggles and we are all ready to start training and building up towards the start of a new season."
