Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has admitted he expected to leave Chelsea on loan during the summer transfer window after Chelsea boss Frank Lampard spent over £200million on new signings.

The 19 year old midfielder made 11 appearances for the Blues last season after he was promoted from the academy by Lampard.

“I never thought I would be where I am just now. I thought maybe the next year I would go on loan,” Gilmour told the Four Lads Had A Dream Podcast.

Gilmour has recently just returned to training after picking up an injury last season.
