Swansea City Captain Matt Grimes nears Fulham switch

Fulham are interested in making Swansea City star Matt Grimes their latest summer signing, after completing a big-money move for Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.

While much of the Championship is facing up to some harsh financial realities, Marco Silva's side completed a move worth £12m for Wilson at the weekend - and it seems they're not done yet.

It's understood the Cottagers have held an interest in Grimes for some time, but reports suggest they have now firmed up their admiration and interest for him.

According to the Daily Mail, Grimes is closing in on a move to west London and could even be due for a medical soon, although the details around the potential transfer are not yet clear.

The same report claims that the impending sale of Grimes, who's attracted interest from Southampton and Newcastle United this summer, was also a key factor in Steve Cooper's decision to leave the Liberty Stadium.

Sources in SA1 have long been pessimistic over the club's chances of keeping the skipper, who has one year left on his remaining deal at the club.
