Receiving some love from Everton manager Frank Lampard might be just what Billy Gilmour needs to kick-start his fledgling career again with the Chelsea midfielder “determined to become a world-class player.” That’s the verdict of Football.London Chelsea writer Bobby Vincent.
Lampard has long-stated his desire to revamp Everton’s midfield this summer and declared after their 2-0 loss to Arsenal that he was looking to find a ‘number six’ type player. With Football.Scotland reporting that the Blues boss is keen to take Gilmour to Goodison Park, could the 21-year-old, who has been cut from Thomas Tuchel’s first team party in the USA to join the club’s development squad, prove the solution?
Vincent told the ECHO: “Gilmour first broke into the Chelsea senior side against Liverpool in the FA Cup and played in the number six role. In that match, he was absolutely fantastic and at such a young age, he dominated a superb Liverpool midfield in a position that usually requires plenty of maturity and experience.
