Chelsea Boss Maurizio Sarri Calls Up Billy Gilmour to Train with Blues First-Team

Scotland youth internationalist Billy Gilmour has been called-up to Chelsea‘s first-team squad for training ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash against Fulham.

The 17-year-old midfielder has been earmarked as one of the club’s most promising up-and-coming players since moving to Stamford Bridge from Rangers back in 2017.

Gilmour scored a sensational hat-trick in the UEFA Youth League against Molde back in October, just a few months after starring for Scotland’s Under-21 side in the Toulon Cup.

And now it seems he could be in line for a shock Premier League bow this weekend, or at least a place on the subs bench.

Gilmour has been training alongside the likes of Cesc Fabregas, N’Golo Kante and Alvaro Morata this week and the Sun are reporting he is under consideration to be in the 18-man squad for the home match against Claudio Ranieri’s Cottagers on Saturday.

It would be an incredible achievement for Gilmour, but if he’s good enough, he’s old enough, right?

What do you think of the teenager’s meteoric rise over the last two years?
