Chelsea have very properly used the choice to extend the contract of midfielder Billy Gilmour by an extra season, and this may show to be an important transfer.
Gilmour’s profession has been stunted by occurring mortgage to relegation battling Norwich Metropolis, and this has hauled him again, and extra importantly, maybe made some overlook the uncooked high quality that this boy has obtained.

He’s the actual deal, and earlier than he went on mortgage final season, Chelsea followers had been raving about him and in full settlement that he has a really vibrant future forward of him at our membership. I nonetheless maintain a agency perception that that is the case and can occur.
His contract would have been up in 2023, so extending it by one other 12 months places Chelsea within the driving seat for his future for now a minimum of, and that needed to occur. I’m unsure whether or not he comes into the primary group squad this summer time or not, but when he doesn’t, then we have to be sure that we seal the proper mortgage deal for him this summer time and never one the place he can be enjoying in a struggling group alongside low high quality gamers. If we get this subsequent transfer for him proper, then I’ve no doubts in any respect that he’ll make it at Chelsea.
I see Gilmour as a possible N’Golo Kante successor, however he additionally has bits of Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho about his sport. He has an important combination of abilities and has so many nice property.
We have to shield his profession now and make a good move on him this summer time, however he actually could make it right here with us.
