Billy Gilmour transfer latest as Everton-linked Chelsea midfielder offered another Premier League option

Billy Gilmour transfer latest as Everton-linked Chelsea midfielder offered another Premier League option

PREMIER LEAGUE Brighton are keen on a move for Chelsea and Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour, according to reports.

The former Rangers kid has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and the London giants are keen to send him out on loan this summer.

Journalist Alan Nixon now reports that Graham Potter's Brighton are keen on a move for Gilmour.

Everton have also been linked with the 21-year-old in recent days.

The Scotland international knows Everton boss Frank Lampard well after making his Premier League debut under the manager during his time at Chelsea.

Gilmour burst onto the scene at Chelsea under Lampard but endured a difficult season out on loan at Norwich last term.

And last week Gilmour was urged to join Everton on loan by fellow ex-Rangers ace Andy Halliday.

The Hearts player insisted a reunion with Lampard is the "exact move" Gilmour needs to reignite his career.

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, Halliday explained: "Everton is the exact move that Billy Gilmour needs to make to get his career back on track.

"Frank Lampard gave him his debut at "Chelsea and has a lot of trust in him whilst also knowing the ability he has.

"We've seen players have bad loan spells before and still come back and play really well.

"There's no doubt in Billy's quality and I think there's no better loan move to make than reuniting with Lampard at Everton."
