Fulham continue Grimes pursuit as Swans turn down latest bid

There are some deals that threaten to go right to the wire before getting agreed and it now seems as if Matt Grimes to Fulham is going to be one of those deals this deadline day.

News comes through now that the Swans have turned down the latest offer from West London which was creeping towards the ยฃ3m barrier as they look to secure the best deal possible for their seemingly wantaway captain.

Not an overly cryptic tweet from Stuart James but one that probably suggests that the two clubs are coming closer to agreeing a deal for Grimes who looks seemingly unlikely to be a Swansea player come the closure of the window.

This is now at least the third bid that Fulham have had turned down and it’s relatively clear that they are not ready to give up yet so it gets almost to the stage of seeing who blinks first with Grimes looking set to be potentially the latest to leave the Swans on this deadline day.

An interesting evening ahead.
