As confirmed by the player himself on Twitter, Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has signed his first professional contract with the Blues and will wear the No.8 shirt next season.
The 17-year-old, who has already made four appearances for the Scotland u21s, is highly-rated and could have a bright future with the Londoners if he continues his development. Signed from Rangers in 2017, Gilmour has gone on to make 23 appearances for the Chelsea u18s and four for the u19s.
Gilmour has only been with the Blues for a year, but his professional deal shows how well he’s progressed in the last 12 months.
