'Remember the name!' - Billy Gilmour leaves Chelea fans purring after stunning debut display

A number of young Chelsea star impressed during Frank Lampard's first game a head coach, but it was one man who stood out from the crowd.

That was Billy Gilmour.

The 18-year-old played the second 45 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Bohemians on Thursday evening and immediately set pulses racing with his positive and progressive style.

Gilmour showcased a neat first touch, a turn of pace and an ability to play both long and short passes with accuracy - something which will no doubt have caught the eye of Lampard.

The number 10 moved to Stamford Bridge in 2017 when he turned 16 after coming through the academy system at Rangers, and it seems like the Glaswegian is set for big things in west London.
