Billy Gilmour to seal Norwich transfer as Chelsea and Scotland star pictured at Carrow Road

Norwich City are poised to announce the signing of Billy Gilmour after he was pictured in club gear ahead of his loan move.

The youngster is set to leave Chelsea for the season as he looks to get more first team football under his belt, with Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic ahead of him in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

The former Rangers youth put in a stunning performance for Scotland in the Euro 2020 draw with England at Wembley, earning the man of the match award on his first start for his country.

The Ibrox club were keen to bring him back north of the border this summer but Chelsea were adamant one of their prize assets should remain in England.

Newly-promoted Norwich quickly emerged as favourites for his signature and Talk Norwich City have now posted an image of Gilmour in his Canaries gear ahead of the signing being confirmed.

The 20-year-old is from Ardrossan and attended an SFA performance school at Grange Academy in Kilmarnock.

He joined the youth system at Ibrox and trained with the first team at just 15 before being tempted south by Chelsea.

Gilmour made 11 appearances in all competitions for the European champions last season but found it hard to oust Italy star Jorginho from the deep midfield role.

He will now get his chance to impress on loan as well as building up his fitness and game experience with Norwich.
