Thomas Tuchel has been warned that Billy Gilmour could be surplus to requirements at Chelsea next season following an unconvincing season-long loan at Norwich City. The 20-year-old midfielder was initially frozen out at Carrow Road having failed to impress, but reclaimed a spot in the first-team once Dean Smith replaced Daniel Farke.
However, despite the Scotland international's best efforts, he's struggled to impose himself at the Canaries despite arriving with a big reputation to fulfil. Gilmour, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire at the end of next season, has featured 21 times in the Premier League this season as Norwich have dived towards relegation.
The Chelsea boss was a big fan of the Scotsman ahead of his move to Norfolk and set him the challenge of becoming a 'top player'. Despite acknowledging the risk at hand, Tuchel explained that Gilmour wanted a better chance of first-team opportunities.
