Swansea have not announced the fee for Grimes, who has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal, but sources had told ESPN FC earlier this week that the Premier League club were set to pay 1.75 million pounds.

The England under-20 international, 19, had been linked with a number of Premier League clubs.

Exeter also announced the deal on their official website and said: "Matt departs Exeter City with the very best wishes for a prosperous career from everyone involved at the club."
