Brighton linked with fresh move for Billy Gilmour

Brighton are known for going under the radar and signing some hidden gems in the transfer window.

Reports in the British media claim that Brighton are linked with fresh move for Billy Gilmour.

The 21-year-old has been subject to interest from various Premier League clubs.

The Scotland international was signed by Chelsea in July 2017 from Rangers for a fee of 1.7 million euros. He has a contract until 2024 with the club.

The 21-year-old has been touted as one of the brightest young prospects in Scotland. Gilmour has earned 15 senior caps for the Scotland national team but is yet to open his goal-scoring account for his nation.

Billy Gilmour is one of the more likely players to be offloaded by Chelsea this summer and the list of suitors in the Scotland international continues to grow.

Brighton are looking to sign a midfielder and have identified the 21-year-old as potential transfer target.

Graham Potter has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe. He is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this summer.

The former Rangers man will add more quality to Brighton’s midfield. His versatile nature can help the manager to be more flexible with the formations.

According to the report, “Brighton are contemplating a possible deal for Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour. The Scottish youngster has struggled to live up to the hype when he first broke into the Chelsea first-team. Gilmour had a tough time during a loan spell at Norwich City last season. However, Brighton may be a better option for the talented youngster, given they like to play expansive football. According to the Daily Mail, Gilmour may even be seen as a replacement for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, who is wanted by Manchester United. The 21-year-old has 15 Scotland caps, and is available on loan this summer, while a permanent deal may even be possible.”
