Billy Gilmour has opened up on the "frustrating" start to his Brighton career which has seen the Scotland star play just 13 minutes of first team football since his summer move from Chelsea.
Gilmour moved to the Seagulls to link up with manager Graham Potter but things took a turn within a week as Potter went the other way to replace Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge. The former Rangers youth prospect has spent the weeks since predominately sitting on the bench as an unused substitute but was handed his chance to impress in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night and put in an eye-catching performance as Brighton knocked out English Premier League leaders Arsenal at the third round stage.
The 21-year old even registered an assist during the victory as he played a perfectly timed ball out to full-back Tariq Lampety who made it 3-1. Gilmour admitted after the match that he he enjoyed making a rare start and knows he needs to build on that 90 minutes if he is going to cement himself into new head coach Roberto De Zerbi's team.
