FRANK LAMPARD believes Billy GiImour has all the qualities to become a midfield great – in the mould of Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.
At 18, Gilmour (below) is the latest youngster to roll off the production line at Stamford Bridge, and Keane has already dubbed him “world class”.
Blues boss Lampard said: “Roy was a fantastic midfield player and won’t give credit unless it’s due. If he can follow the ideas someone like Roy has about midfield play, Billy won’t go far wrong.”
Gilmour has also been compared to Scholes, and Lampard added: “Paul is one of the greatest midfield players I played against and Billy has shown early signs of that kind of ability.”
