A number of Championship and League One clubs are interested in taking Swansea starlet Matt Grimes on loan, according to reports.

Grimes has found game-time hard to come by at the Liberty Stadium this season, making only two appearances for the Swans in the Capital One Cup. However, with Swansea getting knocked out of the cup by Hull City in September, opportunities are now very sparse for the 19-year-old.

The England under-20’s captain signed for Swansea in January from Exeter City for £1.75 million, and impressed the Jack Army in the few games he featured in the Premier League last term. He also had a great pre-season for the Swans, scoring a great goal against Borussia Monchengladbach in a friendly match.

The loan window closes next week and Grimes’ availability has alerted many lower league clubs. A short-term loan wouldn’t be too bad for the youngster, as at just 19 years-old he needs as much minutes on the pitch as possible.
