Grimes quality singled out by Stoke boss Pelach

While Matt Grimes was not able to lead Swansea City to victory over Stoke City on Saturday, the skipper did attract glowing praise from opposition boss Narcis Pelach after the 0-0 draw at the Swansea.com Stadium. "Matt Grimes is such a good player, he dictates the game and plays very well," said the Potters manager. Swansea paid close to £1.75m to bring Grimes from Exeter City in 2015 and, after loan spells with Blackburn Rovers, Leeds United and Northampton Town, the midfielder has become a key part of the Swans team under a succession of bosses.
