Billy Gilmour has asked to go on loan as he looks to cement his place in Scotland’s European Championship squad.
The 19-year-old was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s matchday squad to face Wolves on Wednesday as the new Chelsea boss rang the changes ahead of 0-0 draw.
Gilmour, a signing from Rangers, had flourished under Frank Lampard, impressing again in last Sunday’s FA Cup win over Luton Town. However, the young Scot believes opportunities will be more limited under Tuchel as he looks to give fit-again N’Golo Kante and Jorginho more regular action.
