Exeter midfielder Matt Grimes is close to sealing a club-record move to Premier League side Swansea.

The 19-year-old playmaker will become Devon's most expensive football export of all time when he makes the switch, believed to be for a fee in the region of £1.75million, in the coming days. The City youth product has been a regular for England's Under-20s this season and has already made 49 Exeter appearances since breaking into Paul Tisdale's side.
