Chelsea complete signing of 15-year-old Billy Gilmour from Rangers ahead of Manchester United, City and Bayern Munich in deal worth £500,000

Chelsea have won the race to sign Rangers 15-year-old starlet Billy Gilmour in a deal worth £500,000.

Sportsmail reported in March that the Premier League club were confident of getting Gilmour, who was also being tracked by Bayern Munich and both Manchester clubs.

In a brutally honest statement, Rangers pointed out that they had received a ‘significant sum for a young player who has yet to play first-team football’ in Gilmour. The £500,000 deal does not include add-ons, which are also said to be significant.
