Swansea midfielder Matt Grimes is set to sign for Fulham in the coming days.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Swansea's skipper demanded a move this summer, which is part of the reason why manager Steve Cooper quit his post.

The 26-year-old was expected to join a Premier League club, with Southampton and Newcastle United credited with an interest.

But it appears Fulham have won the race for his signature, as new manager Marco Silva builds a team that can go straight back to the Premier League after their relegation last term.

The Cottagers also secured Harry Wilson from Liverpool for £12 million.
