Gilmour would like to be beside the seaside
Those who advise Billy Gilmour would do well to consider carefully his next career move. His loan transfer to Norwich City last season was a disaster while it seems clear that – when someone such as Conor Gallagher cannot find a way into Thomas Tuchel's starting XI – it might be time to start looking at life away from Chelsea if the Scot is to progress his career. Gallagher is a different, but not necessarily better, player than Gilmour but he is ahead of him in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, a place that has become a graveyard for young domestic talent over the past decade. Had he needed any more persuading that a move would be best for his career to flourish it came on Friday when Chelsea spent £12.6 million to bring Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei in from Inter Milan.
