Exeter City's Director of Football Steve Perryman has confirmed that no offers have been received for the Grecians teenage midfielder Matt Grimes.
The 18 year has enjoyed an impressive first season as a professional, turning out 37 times for the first team, and starring for the under 21s in the Premier League cup before picking up the clubs player of the year award.
Perryman insisted on the clubs website that: "There have been no bids so far and no discussions with anyone relating to a transfer."
Their has been speculation linking the Exeter academy product with a more away from St James Park and a host of Premier League and Championship clubs are allegedly queueing up to sign the midfielder.
It comes as no surprise to Perryman that Grimes is attracting interest from clubs up the footballing ladder: “Matt is arguably the best technical player that I have seen come through our Academy during my nine years with the club."
The director of football hastened to add however that Exeter are not making any preparations for the youngsters exit: “As things stand we’re preparing for Matt to be an Exeter City player next season."
