# Chelsea: Fans predict bright future for Billy Gilmour following club Instagram post

**This recent snap of [Billy Gilmour](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours/billy-gilmour-profile/) during training has got Chelsea fans tipping him for a glittering career with the Blues.**

The club’s official Instagram account has posted a photo of the youngster leaping to head a ball during one of the team’s latest sessions at Cobham.

The 19-year-old has been subject of a lot of talk recently after breaking into the first team before the Premier League was brought to a halt. As a shining prospect, fans are going as far as predicting Gilmour to become the future Chelsea captain.

Frank Lampard has put a lot of faith into his side’s younger players this campaign, and it has paid dividends. Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham have impressed with their senior performances, tallying a total of 19 goals and nine assists between them in the league this term (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-chelsea/startseite/verein/631)).

Gilmour could be the next in line to become a sure starter for the Blues. He has made three Premier League appearances so far and has a total of seven goal contributions across Chelsea’s youth divisions (also [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/billy-gilmour/leistungsdaten/spieler/423744)).

Lampard and his men will return to action on Sunday against Aston Villa as England’s top flight finally resumes. The 19-year-old could be looking at some more game time as the league continues to unfold.
