    The potential arrival of Swansea City captain Matt Grimes is "exactly what Coventry City need" to bolster the midfield, according to Sky Blues fan Anthony Hornsby.

    Coventry have seen two bids for Grimes knocked back but have returned with a third offer and remain hopeful of g the 29-year-old before the transfer window closes on Monday.

    "You want him on your team rather than against you every single time, don't you? And what a fantastic intent of g that is as well," Hornsby told BBC CWR's Sky Blues Fancast.

    "I'm just waiting for the news for him to come. I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't. It's exactly what we need.

    "He's very similar to the capabilities of [Jack] Rudoni but he just sits that little bit deeper, so it fills that midfield amazingly and you just pick the third player to go with him and it compliments the other two.

    "He's about ball retention and getting the team moving. We've spent years and years chasing the ball around against Swansea, not being able to get it off them and thinking 'why can't we play like this">
