Billy Gilmour left with egg on his face as Chelsea exit to Brighton backfires

It's claimed Billy Gilmour left Chelsea for Brighton to play under Graham Potter... only for the manager to head in the opposite direction eight days after the transfer.

Brighton signed the Scotland international, 21, in a £9million deal on deadline day. He agreed a four-year contract and admitted his excitement at working with Potter. "For me, Brighton play great football and a style I like to play, nice passing," said Gilmour.

"The manager is highly thought of as well, he's really good. I thought I wanted to come here. I also know a couple of players here, Levi [Colwill] and Tariq [Lamptey] so I've asked them and they've told me how good of a club it's been."
