Chelsea fans have heaped praise on their youngster Billy Gilmour after talking about his rise through the ranks at Stamford Bridge.
The 18-year-old has been allowed to shine under manager Frank Lampard and made his Premier League debut during the Blues’ 2-2 draw against Sheffield United.
He made his first start during their 7-1 win against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup and played the full 90 minutes for the first team.
The Chelsea legend and manager was complimentary of Gilmour as he featured once more against Manchester United, describing the youngster as “very good”.
The Glaswegian has played a lot of minutes in Premier League 2 and scored five goals in 19 matches last season. During the current campaign, he has just the one goal and three assists in six appearances but has already played 166 minutes for Lampard’s side.
‘I am looking up to the others and taking parts of their game and trying to put them into mine in training.’

Supporters respected Gilmour after he felt he did himself justice against Manchester United, which he described as the biggest game of his career. One fan even believes that Gilmour is already better than Ross Barkley.
