Norwich City Has Signed Billy Gilmour from Chelsea on Loan for  the 2021/22 Season

The 20-year-old midfielder was outstanding for Scotland in a goalless draw against England at Euro 2020 on 18 June.

However, Gilmour tested positive for Covid-19 after the match and has completed the move following a period of self-isolation.

"I've been looking forward to coming here, playing as much as possible and helping Norwich City compete in the Premier League," said Gilmour.

"I spoke to the head coach [Daniel Farke]. He called me and we had a nice talk about how he wants to play and how he sees me fitting in.

Gilmour made 11 appearances for Chelsea last season and started only 3 league games.

The former Rangers youth player was an unused substitute in both the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

Chelsea lost the domestic showpiece to Leicester City but beat Manchester City in Portugal to lift the Champions League Cup.
