Exeter Deny any bids have been received for Grimes

The Club have now commented publicly on their young midfielder’s interest to a number of Championship and Premier sides. They’ve denied that any club has had any discussions about Matt Grimes let alone received an offer. So, with the speculation growing daily as to who he might be joining, plus speculation of Grimes becoming a potential England youth international, the club have issued a statement through their Director of Football Steve Perryman.:-

Matt is arguably the best technical player that I have seen come through our Academy during my nine years with the club.

However there have been no bids so far and no discussions with anyone relating to a transfer. So as things stand we’re preparing for Matt to be an Exeter City player next season.

But I’m not surprised in the slightest to hear that clubs have him on their radar, because of the way he has performed on the pitch and conducted himself off it.
