Everton target Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour spotted training separately
Everton target and Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has been spotted training with their development squad, according to the Daily Record.
The Scotland international has been attracting interest from a number of clubs in the Premier League including the Toffees and Brighton.
As per the latest report, Gilmour was spotted in the training alongside Marcos Alonso, Ross Barkley and Baba Rahman, all of whom are likely to leave Stamford Bridge before the end of the transfer window.
Prospect
Everton had a history of turning youngsters into superstars. The likes of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Gordon are just a few examples.
Keeping how the club has been run over the years, it makes sense why the management has been keen on a player like Gilmour who would bring something different for Frank Lampard to deal with.
The 44-year-old is believed to be a fan of the player who showcased his talent during his season-long loan with Norwich last year.
In the 2021-22 campaign, the 21-year-old played 28 matches for Norwich across all competitions — 24 of which came in the Premier League — and provided three assists [Transfermarkt].
With Everton already losing the likes of Dele Alli, who is on the verge of joining Besiktas on a loan deal with an option to make it permanent, it is crucial that Lampard gets this deal over the line to ensure that he has enough quality players around to rotate in the squad.
