Chelsea could call back talent from Norwich
Chelsea talent Billy Gilmour, 20, was loaned out to rival Norwich ahead of this season and is so far listed for six matches, four of which are in the Premier League this season. The loan agreement actually extends until the summer of 2022, but possibly the player can be called back earlier than that.
The English newspaper Daily Express now states that Gilmour can return to Chelsea early if he does not get more playing time in the future. During the last three league matches, he has remained on Norwich’s bench. Norwich coach Daniel Farke also commented on the subject recently, saying:
There is no pressure (to play with Gilmour). We are not here to develop players for other clubs. We are here to score points for this club, Farke said according to Goal.com.
Gilmour has a contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2023. He joined the club’s academy from Rangers’ equivalent in the summer of 2017. He has not yet had the chance for real in Chelsea’s A-team.
