Billy Gilmour vents on Brighton 'frustration' as he offers honest take on luckless Chelsea transfer

Scotland star Billy Gilmour has opened up on his "frustrating" Brighton spell - but insists he doesn't regret leaving Chelsea for a move to the south coast.

The Rangers academy graduate has seen his career stall since exploding onto the scene at Stamford Bridge - where he lifted the Champions League - after struggling to make his mark at the Seagulls. He has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot under boss Roberto de Zerbi after being brought in by Graham Potter - who quickly made the move in the opposite direction to Chelsea.

The lack of minutes has seen the 21-year-old fall down the pecking order for Scotland as he failed to make it off the bench in the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Spain and Cyprus. However, Gilmour emerged from cold storage to make third English Premier League start of the season as Brighton demolished Wolves 6-0 side with de Zebri branding him "the best player on the pitch".
